My biggest gripe with the book is that it gives "all men are trash" vibes. The female characters are deep and complicated, while the males are very flat and one sided. The arguably one "good" male character is barely in the book and plays such an insignificant role.
That being said, it isn't too hard to overlook it a bit because the girls are the main focus. It is a page turner that keeps you on edge.

I did enjoy it though, and I want to give it a reread because I think my circumstances didn’t give it the best shot.

Kat is a journalist who knew Meg 10 years ago and she knows she’s doing some sort of con now. She wants to stay close to a Meg to keep an eye on whatever she is up to.
This book was decent but I felt like I was getting through it to be done rather than enjoying the story. I didn’t find anyone all the likable as they weren’t great people.

I really enjoyed this one, though i did initially have some trouble keeping up in the earlier parts. despite the clearly marked beginnings of chapters, i still found myself occasionally confused with the regular flashbacks. that could very well just be a me issue, of course, but i did want to mention it. it's a dual pov novel that goes back and forth in time with both characters, all in first person.
i am here for a con artist revenge story, and i like the way the book ended with each character quite. possibly a bit too much info-dumping right at the end which some people may not care for, but this was still highly enjoyable and found me cheering for both kat & meg.
