I often forget what it felt like to be that age, but as soon as I dove into the inner worlds of Elodie, Moe, and Tabitha, I was there. The respect Smith has for the struggles/turmoil/realities of life as a teenage girl and the way she portrays them with such remarkable authenticity never ceases to awe me. Not only that, I full-on fell in love with the quasi-criminal trio with their distinct voices, their shameless pop dance parties, and the wonderfully unlikely development of their friendship. I didnt ever expect to sympathize with shoplifting Portland teen girls, but I did. Kirsten Smiths Trinkets achieves an unexpected feat. Review #2 Trinkets audiobook streamming online It made for a pleasant couple of hours, and it resonated in many well phrased scenes. I enjoyed the book far more than I thought that I might. The device of shoplifting is cleverly developed. they all three suffer from the high school disorder of feeling fraudulent and alone within their chosen roles. Each of the three girls has behavior that is unlovely at times. But the writing is lively and witty, and the characters convince us that the plot is not unlikely. As such, the plot comes together a bit too neatly for me. Her mother has died and she isn’t so sure about her stepmother.
She feels alone, although she is friends with a popular girl by default. Her next door neighbor is a popular boy who visits her at night but does not acknowledge her during the day. Moe is a girl whose parents died and who has accepted the thug role by default. They are an unlikely trio with sadness and pain. Our three narrators have been remanded to Shoplifter’s Anonymous for their beliefs in action. Trinkets are items that are shoplifted to raise the spirit.
