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.

 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.

LOVED so hard. I was not expecting this book to be so addictive, beautiful, heartbreaking, and suspenseful. Where is Tess Sharpe? I feel like she owes me another book or five. She does her thing and does it well. I went through all the stages of grief, all the emotions. Chefs kiss.
