Troublemakers by Catherine Barter

5.0

5/5 stars
I don't give 5 star ratings often but...wow.
Seriously, I read this book in a day and I cannot stop thinking about it. I'm always a fan of character driven stories, and books about families, so I loved this book. I sort of agree with other reviewers who said it would've been interesting if this book was told through Danny's point of view, but I think Alena provided a fascinating perspective. She's naïve and you could see the logic in her thinking, but also the flaws in her plans before she could. This book was so well written and Alena's thoughts and realizations throughout the book broke my heart. I'm not too sure how I feel about the sort of anti-climactic ending, but it didn't affect my 5 star rating. I already feel like I want to reread this book, and I've recommended it to several friends!
