HELLA...
This book came out of my mind eventually. I didn't know why suddenly I want to read or listen to it. The crossover between Titanic and Ocean's 8 make it intriguing. I love the process of understanding every characters.
Josefa; the thief... I love her so much even sometimes I feel like her strategy is risky for four of them. But, I must say... she's brilliant.
Violet; the actress... if not for her brother... I am sure; she won't join Josefa's crazy idea to board on a ship like that
Both Hinnah and Emilie... sometimes I feel conflicted but, I love them being rational.. especially Emilie and her fear.
Overall, this book gave me different feel of historical fiction should like... but I also love the heist part. Great job, Adiba!
