"Is there a message or theme in the book?"

Yes, I do think there is. Out if all the things I could of thought of, this seems the most rational. That would be responsibility. The main character in the beginning of the book you see her complain about all the work she has to do, then once she is put in charge in the restaurant and a hold up takes place she learns in the most toughest moments you see the responsibility of the moment seem much less than the ones she was complaining about in the beginning of the book. In the line in page 133 you can see what it took for responsibility which corresponded for her to be set free. "I no longer felt the responsibility to try to be perfect, to avoid disappointing anyone else". The maturity reached has realized her true responsibility.
