renatasnacks 's review for:
Trinkets
by Kirsten "Kiwi" Smith
I didn't mean to read 2 books about teen thieves in a row but then I DID. I really enjoyed this! Kind of like an All Girls Breakfast Club, about 3 high school girls from DIFFERENT CLIQUES (princess, new-to-town good girl, stoner) who all have to go to Shoplifters Anonymous and (spoiler) become friends.
It was a pretty quick read--narration is split between the 3 girls, and Elodie (the good girl) narrates in verse--and it doesn't necessarily traverse much new ground (the rich princess has trouble at home! the new girl has cutting observations about social dynamics at the school!)--but it's very well executed and all three girls are interesting and likeable, and all subvert their archetypes at least a little bit. (For example, by shoplifting.)
I also thought the depictions of Shoplifters Anonymous & its leader Shawn was a hilarious take on support groups and the like.
