Sophie Porter is the last person in the world you'd expect to be stealing Renaissance masterpieces--and that's exactly why she's so good at it. Slipping objects out of her husband's office at the Philadelphia Museum of Art satisfies something deep inside, during a time in her life when satisfactions are few and far between. Selling the treasures also happens to keep their house out of foreclosure--a house that means everything to Sophie. But the FBI is sniffing around, and Sophie is close to destroying the very life she's working so hard to build. She knows she should give up her thieving ways. But she may no longer be in control. The Objects of Her Affection is a riveting story about the realities of motherhood, the perils of secrecy, and the art of appraising the real treasures in our lives.

Not Worth It submitted by Sara W on August 21, 2015, 12:22pm The premise of this book sounded interesting, but within two chapters, I was pretty sick of the main character. If I'm going to worry about the fallout from her kleptomaniac incident, I'm going to have to be able to stand her first. She's someone who cares more about things looking perfect than being right, or being happy. I couldn't relate to her and I didn't really want to. Not recommended.
