Where Nadia finds salvation is also where her demise lies. In her own home, she feels ostracized by her own family and retreats into her room; an accumulative nest of all the things stolen by her. She has secrets unbeknownst to everyone except her and when she tries to speak her words do not project and she remains quiet slowly seeping into a deeper obsession drowning her in its waters. In Florence Italy, she lives with her brother who aspires to be a cook, her mother who helps at-risk teens and her father who is a professor working on a new book. They were moved to France for the specific reason of him to draw inspiration for him to write a book on.

While in France Nadia becomes infatuated with a boy that she trails all throughout Florence and vice versa in which he constantly claims I watch everything and know everything you do. The boy appears only to her and her family believes is a phantom story of her own mind.
Nadia is constantly told of the peculiarity of her actions by her family and the worry and strain her actions impose on them. Nadia throughout the story commits thefts to grow her horde of stolen goods ever more. The story follows a convoluted plot of a teenager living a bizarre life those around her don’t seem to grasp.

In the book, I found an abundance reason for me to both like and dislike the contents of the book. For example, I disliked the book because of sequence and style in which the author chose to write it in; it was a difficult to follow and comprehend which made it a dull read. I also disliked the sentence structure it only added to the confusion and complicated storytelling which I found made harder to want to finish reading the entirety of it. Despite these things, however, I still managed to find aspects of the book I enjoyed. Such as the revelation of  Nadia’s condition and the reason for all the problems throughout the story which was only present to her and no one else. Also the imagery the text created a great depiction within my mind and was very insightful.

The most interesting part of the plot was Nadia being the only person to have seen the boy and the conflict it created between her and her family. It also hinted at and gave a red herring to the condition later found out. Whilst reading I liked the troubled teen aspect of the book where she was the only one capable of understanding certain things around her while her family looked at her foreign. This aspect of the book resonated with myself and events in my own life that have transpired and caused me to feel the same.

In terms of recommendation, I don’t think I would find myself recommending this read to most people. I would only recommend this book to someone highly invested in literature with a high understanding of convoluted sentence structure. The book is easy to get lost in (not in the sense of an interesting fascination) and misinterpret through the text. I only could see higher level readers being able to joyfully read this and comprehend with a less thorough read through. Overall I would not recommend this book to people; at some points, the book loses its luster and becomes dull before gaining momentum again. Therefore I don' t find this read to be recommendable to most.

1. "They call Philadelphia and Florence sister cities, but there is nothing in their DNA that comes close to even a species match" p:196

This quote was important because it mentions both areas that the story takes place in, saying that they are called relatives yet do not compare to one another. I like this quote because it made me want to visit Florence and decide whether or not it is similar to Philadelphia and deserves the title "sister cities"

2. "My first steal was from the airport bookstore. My first steal was Goodnight Moon, the book my dad had read aloud when I was young, a lullaby song." p:77
I think this quote is important because seeing as the title is named One Thing Stolen, it left me wondering what first steal lead her down a further path of theft. I like this quote because the first thing she stole was a book I remember reading in my childhood and seeing it mentioned as her first steal was nostalgic.

3. "Disease is never anybody's fault, blame abnormal proteins, blame loss of neutrons, blame scare tissue in the brain; Blame not yourself, and don't blame Nadia p:218
I believe this quote is important because it discusses Nadia's condition which I found to be the most enjoyed twist/non-thought occurrence in the book. Also, I like this quote because I think it gives Nadia justice for the abnormal treatment her parents gave her prior to knowing her condition. This quote simply tackles the disease in its most simplistic form there is no one to blame except for the improper way things within a person formed.
