Thank you Partner Bibliolifestyle and Black Stone Publishing for the gifted copy of Breaking In! All opinions in this review are my own.
Millie's dream is to become a filmmaker and wants to make a movie based on her dad's final heist. However, when a struggling director reveals he is making an eerily similar movie, Millie knows she needs to take action. Like any good heist movie, Millie hires her team and begins to make a plan.
I think I would have enjoyed this book more if I had a stronger background in heist movies. While you can appreciate it without it, I'm sure some of the tropes were lost on me. There were sections of this book that were exciting, but I got lost when the chapters were constantly switching locations. While the short chapters help to propel the story forward, they worked better when everyone was in the same place. However, like any good heist movie, the ending is exciting!
