laurenkimoto's review against another edition

adventurous emotional mysterious tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? Yes

4.0

This book had me in a choke hold from the second line when the museum being robbed is the Sackler Museum. 

You think this is going to be a fun little heist book but noooo this book delves into what it means to be Chinese American, the ties you have to your ancestry, to love others, colonialism and it’s role in art and museums and so much more.
