It was good! I was instantly engaged in the storyline. The synopsis tells us “Nina once bought into the idea that her fancy liberal arts degree would lead to a fulfilling career. When that dream crashed, she turned to stealing from rich kids in L.A. alongside her wily Irish boyfriend, Lachlan. Nina learned from the best: Her mother was the original con artist, hustling to give her daughter a decent childhood despite their wayward life. But when her mom gets sick, Nina puts everything on the line to help her, even if it means running her most audacious, dangerous scam yet.”
I especially enjoyed how this book has you wanting to almost root for the criminal/villain. There are a few main characters and the book focuses on points of view from two females, Nina and Vanessa. There is adequate backstory and explanation of family dynamics that I enjoyed equally for both characters and it seamlessly goes from one characters point of view to the next. The backstory is equally as interesting as the primary storyline in this book. You have insight into what makes them tick and why they are as they are in present day. I enjoyed how Nina finds comfort in the profession she ran from her whole young adult life that her mom held and then ended up running right back into it. I liked how the two different points of view were seeing entirely different things out of the same situation, it was done very well and was very convincing. In the second half Vanessa’s naivety is a little less believable but tolerable. It was very interesting from a social media standpoint and the study of all the information provided in just simple posts that we don’t do intentionally or realize we are even doing.

Really enjoyed this. Liked the plot, the ending, the characters. Will read more by this author.
This book was really good! I loved the character development. The twists weren't super surprising but they were well written and made sense.
This book started off interesting enough, and then less than halfway through, I lost interest completely. I have tried to pick up this book again multiple times, but have never been able to bring myself to finish it. Maybe someday.

Pretty good! The story kept me interested and I liked the two separate viewpoints that overlapped.
