    I really enjoyed this laugh-out-loud mystery rom-com. When her best friend gets set up to take the fall for stealing a multi-million dollar necklace from a museum, Simi and her mystery new friend soon to turn lover, a professional thief, decide to do a heist, with their merry band of misfits, to recover the necklace and save her friend from going to jail. 
   My two biggest complaints are 1) the narrator, she was over the top in her voice acting and it was cringy, like half the book was written in all caps. I almost gave up on the book multiple times because of the narrator. And b) that it seemed a bit similar to the Stephanie Plum books, with a cop and a bad boy as possible romantic interests, and an eccentric older lady as side characters. Though Simi was more competent than Stephanie Plum is.  These are the reasons the book lost half a star.
    The writing kept me engaged and I ended up really enjoying the book. I would love a sequel. Especially with a different narrator.
