challenging dark tense fast-paced

4.0

This book surprised me in a really good way and I think
I never read anything like that. The writing is so
stimulating, it makes you want to read nonstop, the
chapters are easy to go through because they're short
and with clean writing even though it brings heavy
subjects. I loved how each character had a backstory of
their own and how it makes them perfect together.
liked their dynamic so much and their dialogue and the
way Nora narrates the whole book. The conclusion
really felt like the ending and it made justice to Nora's
own story and the book itself.

After reading the back of the book summary, I thought this was going to be fast paced adventurous YA novel with high stakes crime solving. This book was a lot more intense and dark than I expected it to be, but it was so incredibly well written. It is a lot less YA and a lot more “found family”. The pacing is a little funky for the first few chapters, but it’s well worth the read. I would highly suggest checking the trigger warnings before beginning this book

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!!!

This is absolutely one of the best fucking books ive ever read. It is so powerful and informative while also keeping a fun fiction story. This book goes deep into the topics of surviving abuse and the way it shows Noras past and how that effects her now years later is incredible. The plot, storytelling, themes, characters, and everything else in this book are incredible and it will definitely be one of my life long favorites.
