Trouble

The first chapter will blow your mind! The first sentence bowled me over * Serendipity Reviews *
Trouble’ is an amazingly addictive book, it’s written really well and would appeal to a lot of teens or young adults. I couldn’t put it down! It has to be one of the best books that I have read! * Maximum Pop *
One of the strongest debuts so far this year, I can’t wait to read more from this talented author! * The Book Bag *
Incredibly cool. It’s a fresh, modern and raw take on teenage pregnancy, and it’s brilliant… Pratt produced constant and flowing emotion and experiences, and her style is gorgeously modern and honest, in a way that I think a lot of UK YA authors are worried to… It’s a secret form of honesty we never get to see, and I’d recommend it to absolutely anyone * Blame My Bookshelf *
I can’t finish my review without talking about the authenticity of both Hannah and Aaron’s teenage voices. It makes me smile to think about it because it makes me want to shout from the rooftops about UKYA fiction. You all know how much I love it, anyway, and I think Trouble is right up there with all of the award-winning UKYA. It’s captured teen life so, so well, and I think this is a major selling point for those teens who don’t read as much as others: it’s so relatable they’ll fall straight into the story * Queen of Contemporary *
Okay, first things first, is that or is that the best cover you’ve ever seen for a book about teen pregnancy. I know I keep going on about it, but seriously, I love it … a really great, funny, touching book about friendship and family and growing up * Cicely Loves Books *
Very highly recommended as one of the strongest debuts so far this year, I can’t wait to read more from this talented author! * The Book Bag *
Pratt’s characters are rib-achingly funny, outrageous and entirely true to life: they might not be role models but they’re enormously friends. Anyone who likes coming-of-age stories with sharply observed, hilarious and poignant young protagonists should devour [it] * Metro *
Stand-out… Pratt’s prose is casual, effortless, not too flashy, as she tackles her subject in a funny and non-judgemental way. It is partly a tale of friendship but also a portrayal of being teenage and pregnant, of having any kind of sex life in the age of social media * Glasgow Herald *
Non Pratt just seems to get it all right. Her portrayal of contemporary British teens is uncannily realistic and she gets the language spot on too - ever read a book and been turned off by how the author insists on making the teenagers use way out-of-date slang? Well, I assure you there isn’t any of that here. It’s so refreshing to read a book tackling the difficult subject of teen pregnancy in a way that is entirely non-judgmental. The author doesn’t talk down to teens or patronise them; her characters are well-developed and refuse to conform to any stereotype. Really, Trouble is a story of friendship and familial relationships and both are written with authenticity and emotion without ever tipping into sentimentality. But Trouble is also often funny and always compulsively readable. . . I think it must be impossible to not enjoy Trouble * The Book Nook *
