So I kinda unexpectedly loved this!? It has everything I could want: a fun twisty heist, an epic gay scammer morally grey protagonist, emotional found family… um yeah!!!

Fast paced book that got me out of a huge reading slump. Definitely recommend, but there are a lot of potential triggers so stay safe friends <3

This was really tense and at times emotionally hard to read but it had a beautiful combination of a twisty plot and real, heartwarming character development and found family. Plus pretty solid Own Voices queer and chronic illness rep!

The main reason I'm ranking it as 4.5 and not 5 stars is that it pulls the last act "oh no, I can't lose my moral righteousness by killing someone, even for the safety of myself and my loved ones." Which at that point I entirely didn't believe was true of Nora and it felt kind of like a lazy save. It would've been so easy to avoid too with some other reason for Nora not shooting Duane!

tense fast-paced

2.0

liked the found family aspect, the casual bi representation and the ending - esp the way the mc deals with her trauma and works to overcome it - but that was about it to be honest. i sadly didn't really care for any of the other characters or the whole being-held-at-gunpoint-plot

well written and intriguing but a lot of triggering content and it is not the type of book i usually read. very tense and stressful but if you don’t mind the intense content of the book then it’s good.

The main character has flaws that it obvious from the get go, and she knows it. She has gone through so much at such a young age and you go through a journey with her, finding herself in a life-or-death situation.
