* Zoe would lament she hates typical girls It’s not as bad like most books, but it’s still insidious. I’d like to make a note tha Trouble Is a Friend of Mine have plenty of indictment scenes that are quite cringe inducing.

Since most of my friends despise it whenever there’s a girl hate trope going on. Thankfully that didn’t derail me on ditching this book. It was quite obvious who are the villains from the start. The premise promises a fun expedition and Tromly deliver it well with her trademark knack for sarcasm and pop culture reference. I love the dialogue and the certain snark of this book. I hope Tromly would explore this at the sequel. The banter and friendship are without doubt, one of my favorite things about this novel. The characters are well developed, though they could be overwhelming at times. It took me a couple of chapters to warm up with these batch of characters, but in the end they turned up to be fun to read. In this case, this book straddles the line of barrel of fun and sheer pettiness. Trouble Is a Friend of Mine sounds like a story that could either be an absolute fantastic ride, or merely cliché. Thereafter, adventure, mayhem and tragedy ensue. They quickly developed a strange camaraderie, one that revolves on investigating the case of a missing teenager. In this YA mystery series, newbie Zoe meets Digby in unlikely circumstances. In spite of its shortcomings, I still genuinely adore this book. The opening was slow, there is some concerning offensive content. Trouble Is a Friend of Mine is not for everyone. No book ever made me laugh as much as this series did and Crazy Rich Asians. I'm adjusting my rating because I realized I really really like this book despite its satire tone bordering offensive at some aspects.
