Molly Anderson just found out her dad is getting married to a woman she’s only met once.
Fourteen-year-old Molly had planned to spend the summer before high school reading books, eating junk food, and napping. Instead, she’s forced to spend her days juggling four new family members, a grumpy older brother, a crazy grandmother, and Max, the new boy next door. Having lost her mother in a car accident a year before, she’s not sure how many more changes she can take before she hits her breaking point.
The Trouble with Family tells the tale of a girl trying to make the most of her summer, not just survive it.

The Trouble with Family Molly Anderson Series Book 1 eBook Heather Hobbs Reviews
I received a free copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. I enjoyed this book though it was written for a much younger audience. A sweet book about family and friendship.
The Trouble with Family allows readers the glimpse of a blended family’s first summer together, told in first-person POV by 14-year-old Molly.
Molly and Ben, her brother, father marries Susan, a divorced mother of three, less than a year after his wife/Molly’s mother died. Not only that, Molly had only met Susan once or twice before the wedding, and her step-siblings are equally unhappy about the arrangement. Molly is forced to share a room with her kleptomaniac stepsister Clara. Susan’s character outraged me at times, especially when she insisted on Molly and Ben calling her “Mom” only a few weeks after the wedding, and when she confiscated Molly’s pen pal letters, insisting that Molly was unknowingly writing to sociopaths. Molly’s father basically sits back and does nothing to intervene, most likely because Susan is prone to tantrums.
As a teen, I might have enjoyed this book more. Had I been a child of a divorced family, I may have found this book more relatable. Overall, it was a good book, but the epilogue was a bit of a let-down. After the climatic last chapter, I had hoped for more of a follow up in the epilogue; however, it was just a few paragraphs about what happened immediately following the climactic scene.
There was some laugh-out-loud dialogue in this book, my favorite being “I’ve never driven a car and Ben insists it’s harder than it looks. But if you almost run over an old man, you probably should call it a day.”

ARC received from the author and For Love of a Book for an honest review.
Molly Anderson can not believe it! Her mom just died in a car accident a year ago and her dad is getting remarried. She has only met Susan once and isn't thrilled with getting three step siblings as well. Can her life get any more messed up? THE TROUBLE WITH FAMILY is written by a 14 year olds point of view. Molly tries to make the best of her situation and as you will learn, that isn't always easy to do.
Molly is now forced to share her room with Clara, who steels her debit card and wipes out her account. Her excuse is "well it's not like you had a lot of money in there anyway!" What? I would have knocked her into the wall if that was me, but Molly tries to handle it on her own and not tell on Clara. THE TROUBLE WITH FAMILY is all about making the best of the hand you are dealt and Molly really does try. Even though I am not a child of a divorced family I could totally believe the situations this family found themselves in.
THE TROUBLE WITH FAMILY has some laugh out loud moments and my heart really went out to Molly. She is only fourteen years old and shouldn't have to deal with some of the situations she was in. I just wanted her to be a normal teenager and enjoy life and have fun but that didn't seem to happen. She misses her mom so much and Heather Hobbs really shows that throughout the story. I'm hoping and praying this will be the beginning of a new series because I just wasn't ready to let go of this family.
Written from a young teen's point of view, The Trouble with Family is the start of a series about Molly and her determination to make lemonade from the sour situation in her life. Upbeat and sunny, both she and her brother appear like a couple of misfits when compared to their shallow and insensitive father. Their mother dead from a car accident barely a year before, he marries the receptionist where he works, bringing home the added bargain of three angry step-children who wreak havoc in their home.
The book reads more like a movie of the week than a real drama. Heather Hobbs seesaws from drawing a picture of neglect (no food in the filthy house, knife-fights, and Molly's debit card being hijacked by her step-sister) to warm and fuzzy moments where they are expected to bond over games designed by someone like Dr. Phil. This made no sense to me. The dynamics did not seem real. Molly's acceptance of her new family felt forced. That being said, it was well-written and if the goal was to teach that despite vast differences, people can come together with understanding to appreciate that everyone is struggling with something, the book was successful in a Lifetime Movie kind of way.
