A review by brynnecarys
Troublemaker by Linda Howard

2.0

So this book isn't great, but it's an easy read. The thing that almost had me putting it down was the lazy sexism for no apparent purpose. Everything was gendered to the point of being strange. It almost felt like someone had gone through with a label maker put girl thing or boy thing on almost every object that appeared in the book. It's not heinous just seriously irritating.

I didn't mind the plot it's mostly small town melodrama, and puppy love (quite literally) with a bit of action at the end. Mostly I wanted to know more about this small town then the relationship between Morgan and Bo. That's because Morgan mostly sucks; and there is a lot of suspension of disbelief with the general set up of the book. I did really like Bo though. She felt real to me in both her actions and approach to life. I was pretty much hoping for a love triangle just so she could have a different love interest, and I normally find them tedious. She is a person who's been through emotional turmoil and held it together, made mistakes and owned them. She's a great character who I wish was in a better story. I can't recommend the book, but I did enjoy reading it.
