Trinkets by Kirsten Smith
- I like Kirsten Smith, love her screenplays (Legally Blonde, you guys)
- This was a solid novel.
- The three protags are about equally compelling but Elodie was the only one I think could have supported the narrative on her own. Well, a narrative I would choose to read.
- The thing that knocks my evaluation down from “great” to “solid” is the unnecessary romantic subplots. All three girls were assigned a new boyfriend by the end of the story. Why? I don’t now. I’m not anti-romance, but something about how in the last arc all three girls quickly had ~somebody to love~ rubbed me the wrong way.
- Trinkets would not have suffered if it was “just” a story about friendship and grief. Those are very important issues that Kirsten Smith wrote about beautifully.
- I don’t have much else to say except after I read it I was tempted to steal shoplift for three days. But I didn’t! Don’t use this post in an argument to ban Trinkets from a school or anything.
