Crazy good book in my opinion. While I have read book about grifters and such none have been presented in this way. Meg and Kat are both compelling characters. I wish their relationship developed more one-on-one. I also wish that the jerky friend of Cory's got his due.

I was kind of skeptical going into this one because I wasn't really a fan of The Last Flight but I was pleasantly surprised!
This book was so hard to put down! I found that I liked Megs parts over Kats. I just found everything she did so intriguing! I did however find Kats side more interesting by the end because of everything with her finance.
Spoiler:
This is my big gripe: I was very sad there wasn't any confrontation between Kat and Meg. I was HOPING Kat would tell Meg what happened with Nate at the very least but I'm sad that she didn't. Or that one of them would admit to the other that they knew who they were. But alas, I'm unfilled there.
Other than that though, a great book that I highly recommend!

Julie Clark never misses the mark with her writing.
This is my second book of hers that I’ve read after The Flight a few years ago. I was instantly pulled into this story with the captivating storyline and two female main characters.
The story and chapters are short but how it progresses is amazing, always keeping you in your toes.
The only thing stopping me from giving this a 5 star rating is I wanted Ron’s punishment to be bigger as I felt it was going to be.

Just couldn’t get into it. Maybe will try again at another time. Or try it on audio to see if it catches my attention more that way.

The beginning started strong. It was interesting to be in Meg’s head as she planned all of her cons.
But the book took a turn and became tedious to follow.
I liked Meg but I found Kat boring. When I was on Kat’s pov, I dredged through just waiting to return to Meg.
And Kat forgiving Meg for what Cory did to her so abruptly after literally spending her entire career and life out for Meg because of it? Nah. That didn’t work. In fact, she probably should have used the logic that she magically decided to use on the last page of the book and realize that Meg had no control over Cory. I found this huge plot point convoluted.
In the end Meg did stick it to Ron. But, it didn’t feel as satisfying as it should have. With all the build up leading up to it.

I listened to this as an audiobook and really enjoyed it. I liked the different points of view throughout the book and the past and present aspect. Good suspense novel that keeps you interested the whole time. Not the same plot line but gave me The Last Mrs. Parrish vibes.
