Brilliant book! I was hooked from the start. You can't stop reading it because you want to know what happens next and you're always on the edge of your seat. My only complaint is that

Raymond Keane didn't die in the end.

This had some dark stuff in it, so definitely check the trigger warnings. It was so interesting though! Both the timeline of the current situation and the trickle history of how the MC got to that point.

I hated the mother and wanted to bitch slap the friends for their response to some things that were beyond Nora's control (of course she would keep stuff like this from you, you have no right to be butt hurt when people with unpleasant pasts don't share). But the reactions were realistic, loathe as I am to admit it.

Actually, it was rather impressive writing that made me so angry over things not real people did to other not real people, when I think about it. Definitely going to check out others books by this author.

Would not recommend for under 16s. That is my only flaw (stated as suitable for 12-18 on Amazon).

I bought The Girls I’ve Been out of curiosity. Going into this book, I thought it would be more teen drama than bank robbery.
I must admit this story was a pleasant surprise! It was fast and “always moving”. I did not expect it to be heavy on themes like child abuse, trauma or bad parenting. Nonetheless, that was definitely the most grabbing part of the story.

Considering the whole book, I realise I didn’t care much for the robbery or the motives. What I enjoyed most was learning about Nora’s past experiences, the girls she used to be, what they taught her, and how they shaped her into the person she was when that robbery occurred.

I can’t wait to make this book my personality for the next three weeks lmao.

Absolutely amazing, really well written in every aspect and an incredible portrayal of what abuse can do to people and how it can come in many different forms.

An incredibly dark story about abuse but honestly, an incredibly fun read. The subject matter itself is dark but the book is a thrill ride from start to finish.
