Thank you Random House for the free book.

Gorgeous grifters seducing billionaires? Just another day in Duluth!

…or, the premise of Wendy Heard’s delicious thriller about two wily women who get in over their heads with a suspiciously sympathetic tech bro.

4.5

I loved this thriller! Two girls, Summer and Leo, live out of their car along different spots on the California coast, making their way by picking pockets and other forms of thievery.  When Leo begins to rub shoulders with a billionaire, hoping to sell some of his private info, she and Summer have no idea what they are actually stepping into. 

There is a great kinship between Summer and Leo, both of whom have difficult histories that are related throughout this book.  I loved their sister-like relationship and Summer's devotion to trying to figure out what is going on with Leo.

Overall,  I really loved the fast-pace, the characters and the twists and turns had me on this one.  

Definitely recommend for thriller lovers! 

Out June 13, 2023!

Thank you, Netgalley and Publisher, for this Arc!
