Morgan shoplifts after her mother leaves, is caught, and must complete community service.
Morgan begins a relationship with Eli while hiding her shoplifting and managing her recovery.
Morgan has been furious since her mother left and is described as moving from self-loathing and crime towards healing.
Shoplifting, parental departure, self-loathing, anger, being caught and required community service, disability following a hockey injury, secrecy and relationship pressures may deserve attention before reading.
This is a grounded book brief while Suitabook strengthens the analysis: another book-specific source is still needed; the book’s treatment of its main themes is not yet firm enough.
Anything not established here remains open; it is not being treated as absent or safe.
