I really really enjoyed this book! I love the multiple narrator style of writing with each person telling the story from their perspective in real time. I found the 2 main characters very loveable. I really enjoyed the story of friendship and some of the struggles, but also the depth of female friendship and the lengths people would go to for their bestie. This book was tense and fast paced in the best way. I literally had a fight with myself every time I had to put it down because k just wanted to know what was going to happen. Admittedly I guessed the bad guys early on, BUT there were a good amount of twists and turns I absolutely did not see coming and it all made sense and came together really nicely in the end. The ending was phenomenal.
Summer and Leo have been best friends since the day they met. Both with traumatic upbringings, they had each been living on the streets when they bumped into one another. Joe they are living together in Summer’s car. Travelling to different west coast cities and making their money by scamming men. Summer’s speciality is short term. She’s a great pickpocket and quick on her feet lifting wallets and IDs and getting out quick. Leo prefers a more long term approach, targeting rich men and using them for gifts until it’s time for the next city. Their next target is their biggest yet, Michael Forrester, a billionaire with holdings in tech and environmental action. Leo charms Michael enough to get an invite to his private island, accessible only by private chartered boat. When she doesn’t return as expected, Summer is determined to find her friend. After finessing her own invite to the island for an investor meeting as someone’s date, summer arrives on the island only to find Leo, not there as expected. But Summer is not leaving the island until she finds her it what has happened to Leo. The longer Summer is on the island, the more she finds out about Michael and the company he keeps, and he may not be the nice guy he appeared to be. And the more she finds out, the more danger she puts herself in.

I listened to the audiobook. This one was great! I didn’t want to stop reading/listening as each chapter, which switches from the two main character’s POVs (both past and present), Summer and Leo, keeps you on the edge of your seat and wanting to read more to find out what will happen and how it is all tied together. There are also some flashbacks. I loved the characters, the storyline, and the twists. I will definitely be reading more from this author.
