I really enjoyed this book, and read it in the space of about 24 hours. It wasn't the heist book I was expecting, but I loved it nonetheless. I think the writing was incredible and really drew me in, along with the great characters. I definitely think there were areas within the book that could have been covered in more detail, but I don't think the book was lacking because of it.

I read this book in one sitting, literally only stopping to answer the door before I returned to it. It's a tense YA about finding out who you are when your whole life has been about hiding.
Nora is a great character and her struggle with who she is because of the multiple people her mother forced her to be is really well told. She is Samantha and Hayley and Ashely, and the others. She is Nora and Natalie and has manage to piece herself together inch by inch until she is able to stand on her own two feet and begin to deal with the demons in her past.
As much as this story is about escaping from a bank robbery it's more about how you deal with trauma and abuse.
