I thoroughly enjoyed this con within a con story. I was all in with Nina and Lachlan, and Nina’s backstory was genuinely heartbreaking.

Although I suspected some things weren’t quite what they seemed, I didn’t fully expect the twists or the ending - which was great. Nina and Vanessa were the perfect foils and frenemies.

One of three narrators, Julia Whelan, is one of my favorites. It took me a while to settle into the alternate POVs of Nina and Vanessa, but overall very well done.

The pov shifting was really well done.Like there is an actual point to there being 2 perspectives.The first 50% of the book was a slow burn but i was glad i waited cuz it went high gear really quickly afterwards.The twists!!!Just loved it.
