I loved the concept of this book but somehow reading it ended up being a bit of a chore. The heist trope gets old quick (haha pun). I thought this would be more cute and lighthearted but actually reading it was not as exciting or engaging as I wished. I kept wishing it was shorter. I can’t tell if it was the writing style or something lost in translation. I wish there was something more relatable or humanizing about the characters but they all felt a little one dimensional and cartoony to me.
