Read an ARC on NetGalley. This does not influence my review.
Little Thieves is a joyous ride from start to finish. The main pov character, Vanja, is a delightful gremlin to follow and easily likeable. She reminded me of one of my favorite gremlin characters in fiction. Her arc resonated with me, with wanting to be love. Owen's writing made me fall in love with Vanja quickly. Vanja's development had ups and downs and felt real because of her experiences. The romance was absolutely adorable. The ending made me laugh, shocked, duped, and happy. It was full of surprises. This book is one of my new favorite books and I can't wait to get an official copy!
