Book Blurb
One of two companion novels from beach-read favorite Rachel Hawthorne, this cute, romantic paperback original is about a good girl who falls for a bad guy.
Avery knows better than to fall for Fletcher, the local bad boy who can’t seem to outrun his reputation. Fletcher knows he shouldn’t bother with college-bound, daughter-of-a-cop Avery. But when their paths cross, neither can deny the spark. Are they willing to go against everything and let their hearts lead the way? Or are they just flirting with disaster?
Trouble from the Start releases simultaneously with companion novel The Boyfriend Project. These heartwarming paperback originals are the perfect summer reads, great for fans of Jennifer Echols, Lauren Barnholdt, and Susane Colasanti.

Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala
Avery is very smart and spends most of her time studying. She is number three in her class. Unfortunately high school is almost over and she has never had a boyfriend. Her best friend, Kendall, urges her to get some practice in now so she won’t be so awkward when she gets to college.
One night she attends a party with Kendall and drinks too much for her anyway. Bad boy Fletcher comes to her rescue and drives her home. Nothing happens but her reputation is forever changed. Getting a ride on Fletcher’s motorcycle usually means one thing. So now all these boys are trying to give Avery attention. At first she doesn’t get it, but once she does she is furious.
What also makes things difficult is Fletcher has become her father’s next summer project. So he will be living in the apartment above the garage. Avery knows what type of person Fletcher is. At least she thought so, until she took the time to really look. He has his own secrets and doesn’t trust anyone.
All secrets eventually come out and it’s Avery who needs to decide what she really wants.
This book was a great read for any YA reader. Avery is really smart and takes school very seriously. She follows the rules almost obsessively. Yet she doesn’t seem to have any fun. Fletcher is a player and school is not his thing. If he doesn’t pass algebra he won’t graduate. Yet he refuses to show up for tutoring. They are such polar opposites. Right?
The storyline is great in the sense where they really take the time to get to know each other. They each learn that what they think they see isn’t usually what really is. I like how the author created situation after situation where Avery really questioned Fletcher’s reputation. She was so worried about hers. Reputations and rumors can really create a façade that hides the real person. Awesome read. I give it a 4 out of 5.
