![]() ![]() Told from the alternating perspectives of Hannah and Aaron, the setup doesn’t really allow for much surprise: the key players are identified at the start, the premise of the novel is outlined in the synopsis. It’s also where new-boy Aaron has been dragged along by his new “friends”, the Basketball boys, even though it’s not remotely his scene. It’s where Hannah and Katie, two best friends, are expecting to pull. It’s where the Darwinian forces of social interaction are at their strongest: weeding out the weakest of the pack and using them as sacrificial lambs for the entertainment of those at the top of their game. ![]() (It’s about a whole lot more, including family and friendship, but it just didn’t have the same ring to it!) In Hannah’s world, there’s school and the park on Fridays evenings, when anyone who’s anyone meets up for flirtation, banter and the occasional (who am I kidding?!) hookup. Thankfully, this is not the case with Non Pratt’s Trouble, a story of sex, love and teenage pregnancy. When you know an author personally, it’s always a little scary to review their new book for fear that it’s a really terrible book or you just didn’t get on with it. ![]()
