It's so nice to get my wish fulfilled. Trouble and the Wallflower may have an incredibly dorky title, but it's an excellent novel about a shy college student raised by an agoraphobic mother and what may seem his polar opposite: a brash, outgoing student who's one of the moving forces in his posse.
What I like best about Boehme's books is that not only are the central characters interesting and alive, but the supporting characters are too. There's a very minor character in Trouble in particular whom I absolutely loved--the older woman who hung around with the brash guy's grandfather and his poker cronies. She was almost a nothing in the story, but is the epitome of what Boehme does well. She was delightful in the story and very memorable afterward.
I feel like Boehme is on a roll now and I can't wait to read what he comes up with next.
