Sharpe's writing is beautiful and effortless. I found myself in awe at her skill, honestly I haven't read anything this well written in a while.
The story revolves around Nora, and bounces back and forth between the present, where she is trapped as a hostage during a bank hesit, and her past, where we learn about the girls her mother made her into to con criminals.
There is a great balance of past and present, and I was never bored throughout. Every character was fleshed out and had good motives. I fell in love with Nora and Wes and Iris.
This book deals with some pretty heavy subjects so make sure you read trigger warnings, but it is handled so well through the characters and story telling.
I cannot recommend this book more. Its reignited my love for reading.
