For someone who has read probably like one or two thrillers in her life, I enjoyed this!

This is a thriller with teenagers that was well written, well paced and well constructed. I liked this straight forward writing. I liked the storytelling.
I didn't get that much attached to the characters except for Nora but I was surprised that it didn't bother me that much.
Nora's story (and her sister's) is tough. This book was darker than I thought it'd be, as it is the story of an abuse (of all kind) survivor who went through horrifying things.
Truthfully, I don't have much to say. I had a good time, I'm glad I had my bisexual and endometriosis representation, and I'm glad I tried the thriller genre.

The characters were extremely easy to understand especially with their backgrounds. The book was very fast paced, but not enough to confuse you. There was simply a lot going on in every page.  
Nora was a perfect character in the sense that she’s a teen who acts like one. And all of her “past girls” make perfect sense. The way Nora acts makes sense. She does all these things because of everything that she’s gone through and I love that. 
The relationships in here are beautifully written. Nora and lee are wonderful together. The perfect sibling bond, I love how she presents them together.  Nora and Wes are perfect. The love they have for each other is wonderful. It’s not romantic but as a reader you can tell how important they are for each other. 
This book is a perfect light read for anyone looking for a quick, dark book. It’s simple but playful yet talks about some tough topics. I would gladly read this again. It’s such a page turner!! I could barely put it down.

i’m a big fan of morally ambiguous main characters so i thoroughly enjoyed this book. i felt like the characters’ reactions to their trauma was very realistic given their need to just continue living despite

Nora thought this was just a regular trip to the bank to deposit the money they had raised for the shelter. She never thought that Wes and Iris would be caught up in any cons with her. But now her ex-boyfriend turned Frank'n'friend, and new girlfriend are stuck in the middle of a bank robbery. Nora will have to use all her skills from growing up to see if she can save all the hostages in the bank, but she doesn't want her secrets to come out? She hasn't always been Nora.
