Fun read but a bit long. It had a lot of twists - some you’d see coming and others not so much.

A fast paced ride full of twists and turns as plot evolves and escalates. An unlikely trio of teens are left piecing together the facts while all the adults lie through their teeth. Plenty of incorrect theories abound.

karen m. mcmanus’ first heist book was really good, but not my favourite. i wasn’t really keen on the lgbtq+ relationship, but other readers would love it.

originally i thought kat & liam would get together by the end of the book, and i wanted them to, but i also respect the decision to keep them as just step-siblings.

thoughts while reading

p89: 🤣😭💀
p94: well since jamie and kat look the same, it’s not the worst thing to be recognised
p123: so the trio on the cover must be kat, liam, and augustus, but who’s the 4th person?
p186: no wonder kat freaked out when liam put The Haunted Sandbox on in las vegas
p275: what does it mean? what does it mean?
p385: hell yes liam! slay

Well I didn't guess the ending!  I'm not sure if I ended up liking how everything came together but I did like the heist bits.  Some of the reasoning and choice making were questionable, I'm not sure if I'd agree that 16-17 year old's are that inconsistent.
