 “What didn't kill me didn't make me stronger; what didn't kill me made me into a victim. But I made me stronger. I made me into a survivor.”

An AMAZING thriller. 🖤

The story is well made with two timelines. Some flashbacks could have been shorter in my opinion but they're important to understand the main timeline and give more insights on the main character personality and behaviors. 💡

Bi rep for the win🌈 

❗ This book also tackles pretty heavy topics (such as abuse and sexual assault), those part are often really hard to read and hugely heartbreaking. 

Be sure to check the trigger warnings and to take care of yourself. 💌

i love it! it didn’t glorify any abuse the characters went through and shows that it’s hard to leave abusive relationships. 
it’s filled with the found-family-trope, friendships, romance, funny characters and action! i did cry a couple times but found a new favorite character: Iris Moulton. i love her <3

This book is very different from books i have read. The characters are very loveable and our main character is not your average feminist female character. She has flaws and has been through some shit. I love how this book is written and how the chapters switches switched from present nora in the bank to her past con experiences and using those experiences to get her friends out of there alive.
