elizadeath 's review for:
Trouble
by Non Pratt
Figured I'd actually write a review for a book for once!
I didn't really know what to expect going into this one, pregnant 15 year olds and fake dads? Skeptical to say the least.
But I found it for 50p and I've heard some good things so I gave it a go. And I loved it!
Hannah, pregnant and 15 with a bit of a 'reputation' is one of the most likeable female characters I have read in a long time, her wit and intelligence were really great, and Non Pratt did a great job at not falling into the trap of promiscuous teens being morons.
I really enjoyed Aaron's story and honestly, I was not expecting that!
Some really complex, interesting characters in Trouble!
I had one slight issue, which I have with a lot of YA fiction, I'm not sure the author had the best understanding of how 15 year olds actually behave, they make them into tiny little adults, with tiny little adult minds, and unfortunately, the majority of 15 year olds just don't seem to be like that! Non Pratt does side step this for the most part, appreciating that teenagers can be complex emotional creatures without making them too old. But just sometimes...some things they said just didn't sit right with me.
But! All in all, a cracker. Highly recommended.
