i loved this book. it was so easy to read and really enjoyable. i fell in love with the characters. i loved the way sharpe wrote nora as the narrator, imagining iris’ vintage dresses bought me joy and wes was just so nice. i like that the story feature two bisexual girls but didn’t revolve around their sexuality. i liked that it didn’t focus on a love triangle but rather the team work they needed to get out. i would’ve liked there to be more focus on before the bank heist, perhaps building the relationship between the characters. i felt the use of the flashbacks was really helpful, it felt similar to tshoeh or malibu rising. i normally hate this genre of ya books but i really enjoyed this one!
