She just could not block him out, no matter how she tried. She was trying to focus on college, and making the most of her time with Kendall, but Fletcher kept entering her head. But of course, this being a YA romance novel, there’s more to Fletcher under his bad boy exterior. This made it easy to see from her point of view, and when Fletcher entered the scene, both of us were screaming bad news. She liked books (like me), cared about her grades (like me), so she was pretty similar to myself. Is there any way Avery and Fletcher could work out?Īvery was a relatable character. Right that Fletcher is about as far as she can get. But Fletcher only likes easy girls, and he’s no man for commitment – and that’s not even mentioning the bruises that stain his body. So when bad boy Fletcher enters her life through her father the cop, she is surprised to feel such a strong connection.

When it comes time for senior year, she is looking to experience love before college, but she doesn’t want any old boyfriend, she wants the right boyfriend. She’s spent her high school experience either studying or with her best friend, Kendall. Opening Sentence: “You can’t just stand here, Avery.”Īvery is a straight A student. I read this book in a matter of hours.Quick & Dirty: A quick, easy read that’s perfect for sunshine and beach days. I’m glad he has Avery, it’s the least he deserves. I saw it coming before his secret was revealed, but it still hurt just the same. Meh.įletcher is a sweet heart with a few secrets. I suppose I’m more of a cynical romantic. I guess if I had read the companion novel to this one, I could understand their relationship more. It really makes me not miss high school, where all the couples were oh so “in love”. Kendall and her boyfriend Jeremy’s relationship was sickeningly sweet. On the other hand, her friend Kendall, I did not grow to like. Always worried about my grades and getting out of school to see what the real world would be all about. Never really focused on finding a boyfriend. However, she did remind me of myself when I was in high school. She only saw the person that the rumors painted. They remind me of my own family and that made me smile more than once.Īvery was somewhat of a snob in the beginning (and I’m glad she gets over that).


This is also a book about family and that’s what I enjoyed the most. Trouble from the Start is a sweet book about looking through someone’s outer image, and finding out who they really are on the inside. And when you get a quick, easy read like this, it’s the perfect match for a rainy day. It has been raining for like 3 days here and I’ve had the absolute pleasure of doing nothing else but read.
