Let's be honest, can Jessica Sorensen write a book that we don't all fall in love with? I truly don't think it's possible. She's shown yet again how talented she is with Confessions of a Kleptomaniac. With a unique premise, addictive characters, and Sorensen's stellar writing, Confessions of a Kleptomaniac can’t be beat.
What I loved most were the characters and their flaws. The entire development of each and every person you meet is so brilliant, and Sorensen brought them all to life in such a flawless way. They’re quirky and different, but yet they’re so incredibly normal and I loved them for all of the above. The two main characters, Grey and Luna, have had a very rough past, but suddenly they’re leaning on one another to make it through present issues. Seeing their growth, maturity, and bond form was captivating. I couldn’t wait to see where each and every page would lead them and their story. I also really enjoyed the entire entourage of friends and their loyalty to one another.

Throughout the book, Luna’s parents are emotionally, mentally, and at times, physically abusive. I think that, while Luna’s personal preference to solving her problems might not be ideal, the entire book is handled so beautifully. If any given teenager were to pick up Confessions of a Kleptomaniac, I feel like they would easily relate to the characters, even without the monstrosity that is her parents. With the help of Grey and her close-knit group of friends, Luna discovers how to put herself first and to make choices to better her own life. It’s a phenomenal story that I think many, young or old, will take something from.
Overall, Confessions of a Kleptomaniac includes an enthralling storyline and characters that you’ll nearly instantly fall in love with. The storyline is so different, and the writing pulls out too many emotions to count. If you’re a fan of young adult, this one is a sure bet.
