Finished in one day. I guess that says something! While so much of the story is a little out there, it’s definitely a page turner. The timeline is all over the place, but it’s done so well. 

I’m not sure I’d hand this one to my daughter just yet (mature 13yo). There is so much going on; seek out trigger warnings and HEED them for sure. Child abuse, sexual abuse, domestic violence, just straight up violence, the list goes on. Most of it is closed door, especially the sexual abuse with the victim as young as 10yo, but it’s extremely clear that it is going on. It’s all far-fetched but also real enough that you’d need to follow up with some heavy conversations with your teen.

I really enjoyed this. I thought this was gonna be a straightforward bank heist style story. Just a fight for survival, but it ended up being so much more than that. It was very dark and deep in a way YA usually isn't and I even found myself forgetting that this was a YA book. 
I don't want to give away too much, but I really loved Nora and everyone she franken-friended. 


Crying score: yes and you would too for a check.

Just didn't vibe with the writing, felt too YA and corny. Which um, fair. Just not for me.
