About this listen
“I have a first-day rule. Any sign of trouble, even a whiff of a problem, and I walk.”
Noelle is an efficient and friendly hotel cleaner, a model employee. Or so she’d have you think. The trouble is that she can’t help taking little “souvenirs” as she cleans. Nothing of value, just tokens of happy, normal lives: a lipstick, a hair clip, some tweezers. And by the time the guest notices anything is missing, Noelle is long gone.
As she starts work at her twenty-first hotel, Noelle is determined to beat her record of one month in a five-star establishment before suspicion falls on her. But when she meets her new colleagues, her plans become complicated. She sees that these women aren’t just hands pushing carts down lonely hotel corridors: they are women with lives full of happiness and worry, pain and joy. The kind of life Noelle has never known how to live. They make her wonder what it would be like to have real friends, people to stick around for . . .
Will the women at Hotel 21 give Noelle the courage to claim the life she deserves, or will her old habits come back to haunt her?

Interesting premise Bit Maudlin
Kleptomania is the main characters response to life after fleeing horrendous physical abuse and neglect from mother. Interesting characters but these are only hinted at and not fully explored. This and the maudlin and rather harlequin sentimentalist cliches towards the last third of the book prevent the story from being memorable. Just okay.
