Trouble Makes a Comeback
Trouble Makes a Comeback | Stephanie Tromly
37 posts | 24 read | 21 to read
An utterly satisfying sequel packed with razor-sharp dialogue, a love triangle you didn't see coming, and the most charismatic dynamic duo you ever met. Now that the infuriating and irresistible Philip Digby has left town for a lead on his sister who disappeared years ago, Zoe Webster is looking forward to a quiet spring semester. She's dating a cute quarterback, hanging out with new friends, and enjoying being "a normal." Which is of course when Digby comes back. He needs Zoe's help, and not just to find his sister. Zoe can either choose to stay on her current path toward popularity, perfect SAT scores, and Princeton, or she can take a major detour with Digby, and maybe find out what that kiss he stole from her really meant. Digby and his over-the-top schemes always lead somewhere unexpected and Zoe's beginning to learn she might just like jumping into the unknown. When it comes to Digby, for Zoe at least, the choice might already be made. From the Hardcover edition.

Upgrading this from a 3-star to a 4-star! I enjoyed the plot much more than I did originally — it‘s a bit rambly, but hooks you in nonetheless. I‘m here much more for the characters anyway. On that, Digby & Zoe are hilarious & adorable as ever, with lots of sweet moments & witty banter. I also loved the friendship between Zoe & Sloane — I hope I see more of it in the last book. A light-hearted, comedic teen thriller for V. Mars fans ★★★★☆.

Book 5 for #24in48 ... but only because I‘ve only been reading really short books! 😆😆😆

This is book 2 in the Trouble is a Friend of Mine series. I‘ve enjoyed both of them and will need to put the third on hold at the library. This one ended ona cliffhanger!!!

You guys, I can‘t explain enough how much I love this series. I had been reading a lot of fantasy lately and reading this series to break that streak was the perfect choice! The characters are hilarious and ridiculous and the plot keeps you on the edge of your seat! 5/5⭐️

A decent follow-up, with the same humor from really intriguing characters. The plot, however, went right through me. This is one of those series where you come for the mystery but you stay for the characters, their wit & their quirks. As such, the mystery wasn't that interesting to me, though it should've been. Still, this Scooby gang was so engaging that I didn't mind it so much. Plus, the finale promises a whole lot more. Can't wait! ★★★☆☆.

Just like the first book, this one has all of the snarky dialogue and adventure as the first. In this installment of the story we finally start to get some answers surrounding the mystery of what happened to Digby‘s little sister.  But we don‘t get all of the answers, which is fine by me, because getting there is half the fun!

I had a harder time overlooking and enjoying the unbelievable antics in this one than I did in the first book. I think it's because Zoe and Digby spend the entire book ignoring the elephant in the room (their feelings) while "dating" other people. They are the book's strength and I was bummed with how they handled things. The audio reader was great even if the book itself isn't the best read-a-loud. I'm still invested enough to read a third book.

Me having my outdoor, audiobook zen moment earlier today. It absolutely should not be this warm in February (this is April weather) but if it's going to be warm than I'll get a little vitamin D.

Also, I've recently had a lot of success with audiobooks helping me finish titles I'm struggling to read in print. Finished this one today (review later) and I really liked this narrator. Reminded me a bit of Kristen Bell, always a good thing for me!

Iamlisa22 Such weird weather! 60 in February ! I had to work :( so didn't get to enjoy much of it grrr 8y
RadicalReader @MarriedtoMrT love how books can definitely make you get completely Zen filled 8y
MarriedtoMrT @Iamlisa22 So weird! And it's supposed to keep climbing to 70s Monday and Tuesday around here. Hopefully it's the same for you and you get to enjoy one of the days! 8y

This Litten is losing a battle against a persistent cold virus so no party for me, not even a #litsypartyofone. I'm tucking myself in early and listening to this audiobook. I read about half the novel a few months ago but wasn't in the mood for the excessive crazy that makes up Digby's charm. I think it might be perfect for tonight. *fingerscrossed*

Happy introvert party to all participating!

Dinner at Macaroni Grill. Disappointing service so far --no love in the bread, water sloshed all over the place--and it's loud. Fingers crossed the food is good.

Laura317 Our Macaroni Grill went out of business about ten years ago. I miss it - especially the roving opera singer that would randomly start singing. 8y

Megabooks Oh dear! I feel like they were good in the 90s but have gone downhill 8y

Digby's back and trouble shakes up Zoe's life again. Enemies start acting friendly, friends become duplicitous, and the SATs are just around the corner. The chase is on!
Fellow fans will be happy to know our favorite troublemakers will be back in book 3! 😍😍😍
If you need a crazy YA series pick up book one Trouble is a Friend of Mine & thank me later!
I just buried my reading slump. I'm back, baby!! 🤓

Carol @thegirlwiththelibrarybag YES it's a sequel 😍😍😍 Digby is back! Our library often gets books ahead of the street date in order to get them cataloged and processed so they can be ready to go on the street date. We have to hold them back and staff don't get to read them early. We sign legal documents saying we'll abide by all this and in some extreme(Harry Potter) cases the publisher will forbid social media posts like this one. It's wild! 8y
SusanInTiburon I never knew! How interesting! 8y
thegirlwiththelibrarybag @Carol, how exciting! We sometimes download records early and have them prepared for a big release but then have to wait for release day and the supplier to deliver and then it's all hands on deck for labelling and covering... 8y
