There's a reason this is Reese's book club selection, a NYT bestseller (that will be moving up the list) and why it will be adapted to the screen by Octavia Spencer and Orit Entertainment with a script by Krista Vernoff and Meghann Plunkett. It was amazing, and I would have finished in less than a day if I did not have to go to work.

If you love a suspenseful, action-packed heist thriller with unpredictable twists and turns and a MC you are rooting for the entire way, this is your next read. This was compulsively readable, entertaining and kept me guessing. The hype is real. You will not be able to put this down.

I can't wait to see who they cast in these roles, and watch this!
