kharlan3's review against another edition

(f/f, YA, thriller). This book had me entranced all the way through. The author does an incredible job narrating, and the story, of a bank heist hostage situation interspersed with the mc’s history, is excellent. It solidified what I already knew, which is that I love found family stories so much, and I love “I adore my romantic partner but my friends mean just as much to me” even more. So good.

It's heavily implied that several of the marks and Nora's stepfather are involved in awful things, probably trafficking and drug dealing and more.
