Shoplifter was a wee bit depressing. Corrina Park has a degree in English lit...which got her a job writing copy at an ad agency. She feels stuck at her job, lonely without a partner, and unsure what to do to change her situation. Hello mid-20s with a humanities degree. I can relate to her struggles but found the book didn't exactly inspire hope. I would love to see more about Corrina and what she gets into after this book concludes. The shoplifting aspect is a very minor tangent as she attempts to have some amount of power and control over her life.
