Wow! Loved this book. A few loose ends left me wondering why they were introduced in the first place like

Olive being their safe phrase—was it Lee’s first “girl” name? Grey cap being an ex-fed or some other info Lee said making him rage—why did we not get the robbers’ stories? The man who was shot—did he die?

Most information about SA is discussed using coded phrases or intentionally vague references that the reader can fill the blanks in with. Sharpe did a good job of handling this tastefully while still not shying away from the reality and effects of such abuse

This book immediately grabbed me. I liked finding out more about Nora's past throughout the book's present in the order that best served the current moment. But I was often frustrated with not knowing how old she was and how two periods connected. I was most way through the book before understanding she was 17 or 18. I didn't always know how old she was in past episodes, making the story confusing at times. The story and characters were enjoyable but I'm not sure I'd read it again.

Fesselnde Geschichte. Spannendes Beziehungskonzept der Hauptfiguren. Zwei der Hauptcharaktere sind in einer homosexuellen Beziehung. Das häufig nicht ernstgenommene Krankheitsbild der Endometriose wird thematisiert. Therapie wird NICHT als Tabuthema behandelt.

Etwas zu viel Trauma (für meinen Geschmack) im Bezug auf die Charaktere. Außerdem schien die Handlung manchmal entwas an den Haaren herbeigezogen.

Trotzdem ein lohnenswertes Buch mit viel Spannung, Mysterien und einem Fokus auf den Charaktern. Lässt sich sehr schnell innerhalb weniger Stunden und mit wenig Aufwand lesen.

Ps: Danke an meine liebe Freundin Thea, die mir dieses Buch ans Herz gelegt hat. Hab dich lieb <3

Here's what I'm working with: goosebumps, heart racing and my stomach occasionally dropping. Plan #1: See this as soon as it is on released on Neflix! This book was a whirlwind of ups and downs. It was a wham Bam thank you ma'ma straight into this thrilling and suspenseful bank heist. The emotional rollercoaster that Nora  O’Malley lead me on while recounting her childhood and what she had become. "What didn’t kill me didn’t make me stronger; what didn’t kill me made me a victim. But I made me stronger. I made me a survivor.”  Iris and Nora are some of the most badass teenagers I have ever met. It just makes me so sad the things they had to overcome not only during the heist but their entire lives. 

Even with extreme language and really tough topics this book is 100% worth the read! I can't see what they do with it!
