Turning thirty, for some reason, is a turning point for women. It is a time to reflect on your life and either be pleased with all you have accomplished or wonder where the heck you went wrong. In "Love is a Thief" Kate found herself single, unemployed, and homeless. It is something I can relate to as I found myself looking for answers to the same questions Kate was asking.

In this story, it is not just Kate who changes –though she does, going from a somewhat hysterical psychopath to a self-actualized individual. Everyone in this book goes through some metamorphosis due to the influence of Kate, because she makes each person face the truth of their loves and encourages them all to go after what makes them happy… even the reader.

Whether you are satisfied with your life or want more from it, this book will help you reflect on the past and plan for the future. It is like a self-help book through the example of a fictional story. I like this novel more than I expected and I would definitely read this again.
