Review: Trouble with a Capital T and that stands for a Tattooed Man

Embracing Trouble is a quick-paced read. It is well written albeit formulamatic in its good-girl-falls-for-bad-boy premise. Even though most readers will anticipate the end of the story, it is a wild ride getting there!Both Ava and Zac are damaged by the loss of their mother, but they’ve chosen different paths to ease their pain. Interestingly, the “good kids” are the least loyal and the least ethical characters. The “burners” may get into trouble, but they seem to have a sense of decency and morality in their treatment of people. It is a classic theme of “can’t judge a book by its cover”.I definitely felt the teenage/young adult angst and desire to be considered grown-up. The characters are developed, and they are believable. I found the dynamics of Ava’s and Zac’s relationship disturbing, however, there are probably young men and women who behave/respond similarly. Ava’s and Zac’s behavior is probably meant to demonstrate the degree to which they were affected by the loss of a caring parent.The content is not suitable for readers with a delicate sensibility or for readers under 18 years old.***Review has been done in conjunction with Nerd Girl Official.
