5.0

I loved this book. Nora, the main character is the so brilliant and able to manipulate a situation while still being human. The flash backs and call transcripts break up the text, slowly giving us more information and making the book seem more fast paced.
I love how this book ends with Nora confronting her mother, it shows us how far she’s come while also reflecting on all of the girls she was. I found they stories of their past cons fascinating and horrifying. I also love how they give other characters, like Iris the chance to shine and be the hero. <\spoiler>
