Dani grows up stealing. Her whole
life revolves around silver. She never went to high school and has a
new name everywhere her and her mom go. Nothing is consistent and she
longs to own something permanent. Dani's mother is hesitant to love
after her husband left. Her motto is: "I believe in what I can hold in
my hand." Throughout the novel, it explores the differences between
Dani and her mother. She also meets a cop(a cute one) which completely
clashes with her lifestyle. I laughed out loud while reading this book!
The dialog was great between Dani and the cute cop. My only complaint
is that it was a bit predictable.
Overall,
I loved the plot and the chance to go inside a criminals mind. Turns
out, not everything's black and white. Criminals are not pure evil.
They have reasons for who they are and why they do what they do. Even
Hitler was abused by his father and was self-conscious of his
appearance. It does not forgive what they do, because they have a
choice. They control their actions. Yet, criminals and evil people are
human too.
The ending
was great and it was a quick short read. I find that every single book
by Elizabeth Scott I end up loving. Perfect You was another of her
great ones-check it out!
