This was pretty good. Some parts were anticlimactic but at other times, I felt like I was in Grand Theft Auto racing for my life. It was definitely a crime novel unlike any I’ve read before. Can a criminal ever really change his ways? One thing’s for sure: he will always drive it like he fucking stole it. I think I would have liked this book even better if I were a boy—a lot of the car stuff went over my head. 🤣

Sugar.Honey.Iced.Tea! (SH!T) This vaguely reminded me of Fast & Furious except set primarily in the south and with characters that have you on the edge the entire time. Bug will have you rooting for him from start to finish. Just when you think the job he needs to get done is finished, nope. Not even close. Highly recommend this for an instant thrill.
