This was our book club pick for this month. While I liked it, the entire club agreed that the amount of trauma felt a bit excessive throughout this book, especially since the way it was marketed did not indicate how dark and heavy the topics would be. We would have all appreciated trigger warnings for the extensive abuse that is both detailed and implied in the main character, Nora’s, flashbacks to her life as a con artist. Netflix is making this a movie, and I have my doubts about how it will translate to screen, especially given the book is aimed at teenagers.
