Description During Books Thanks for the Trouble
“I’ve got some questions for you. Was this story written about me?”I shrugged.
“Yes or no?”
I shrugged again, finally earning a little scowl, which somehow made the girl even more pretty. It brought a bloom to her pale cheeks and made sharp shelves of her cheekbones.
“It’s very rude not to answer simple questions,” she said.
I gestured for my journal, but she still wouldn’t give it to me. So I took out my pen and wrote I can’t on my palm.
Then, in tiny letters below it, I finished the thought: Now don’t you feel like a jerk?
Parker Santé hasn’t spoken a word in five years. While his classmates plan for bright futures, he skips school to hang out in hotels, killing time by watching the guests. But when he meets a silver-haired girl named Zelda Toth, a girl who claims to be quite a bit older than she looks, he’ll discover there just might be a few things left worth living for.

2 stars(Disclaimer: The book is over 288 pages, not more than 300. Get it together goodreads!)I'm sure I would've enjoyed this story a lot if it hadn't been filled with lots of tropes. For one thing, the story is a bit of a cliche with the whole "The depressed boy meets this charismatic girl and they both go on an adventure and he understands what it means to live."Sounds familiar doesn't it? Well, get ready ladies and gentlemen. This book has a character trope I don't like: The Manic PixieI'm just going to pretend that this is my first read of 2018 and not An Enchantment of Ravens because it's definitely my first 5-star read!!! WHY AREN'T MORE PEOPLE RAVING ABOUT Thanks for the Trouble???? I'm not sure how a short book of 200-something pages managed to make me want to rethink what I'm doing with my life. That rarely happens to me as I'm more of a "go with the flow" type of person and don't mind life punching me in the face sometimes. I'm also not a long-term planner, I only make
4.5 starsLove is the exception to the law of diminishing returns.This book is like a breath of fresh air. It's so different from anything I've ever read. This book follows 17 year old Parker who is a mute thief, and he also happens to be Latino. In order to communicate he carries around a journal with him at all times, and he also enjoys writing stories in his journal. One day, while thieving at a hotel, he comes across Zelda, a silver haired girl who is immortal and doesn't age. She has a huge
Life isn't sugarcoated. Why should coffee be?You know that moment when you want to read a certain book (*cough cough* Crooked Kingdom) but your sister is reading it so you have to wait and you keep pestering her about it so then she recommends another book to distract you from the one you want. Well that just happened to me and Thanks for the Trouble was that recommended book. And yes I know I wrote a run-on sentence.I had no expectations for this novel because I knew nothing of it or the
I can't actually tell whether I like this book or hate it with a fiery passion, so I'm going to ignore the rating for now. And maybe think about it for a few days. This will probably turn into a discussion on manic pixie dream girls. You have been warned.___________REVIEWYou should know before I start this review that Tommy Wallachs book We All Looked Up was one of my favourite books of 2015. Its beautiful and it has all these intersecting POVs and its about an apocalypse and it has such

Its been a while since I read a book in a day!I actually ended up enjoy this way more than I expected! It was a quick fun read with some serious topics mixed in there. The female character can definitely be seen as a manic pixie girl but it still worked for me. Also I enjoyed the short stories that were included throughout the book. Worth the read!
