Stealing Heaven, by Elizabeth ScottAdult, 2009
Dani has been stealing ever since she can remember, going from house to house with her mother, then moving before anyone is on to them. But one day Dani makes a friend. And meets a guy. And before she knows it, she wants to stay, to be normal, and to have a real life.
A cute plot, I enjoyed the dialogue between her and her love-interest. On the other hand, I didn't appreciate some of the swearing, and in places the writing did seem a little forced. Elizabeth Scott makes me want to move to Heaven (North Carolina?) with her descriptions. I was a little upset she didn't stay and continue a friendship with Allison - it felt like running away which seems a bit cowardly. At any rate, I'll stop trying for a philosophical discussion and grade it a B-.
