4.5

An exciting thrill ride that has all of my favorite elements: rich people, suspense and snarky teenagers with GREAT dialogue. Karen McManus has mastered the YA suspense genre and is now one of my favorite authors!

This was my favorite Karen M. McManus book in a while. She does a great young adult mystery, but her last few have felt a little hard to get into. This one was not. The plot grabbed me. The characters had real stories that I actually cared about. I connected with the main character. The heist aspect was intriguing, too. She did a great job of making me feel sympathetic to the characters even though they were doing quite illegal things. This was just fun, especially if you don't want something too dark.
