Trinkets

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.
