Thank you to Libro FM for an ALC of this book.
This is a story about a bankrobbery--or an open house? or a hostage drama? Or grief? Or maybe all of them. In this humorous story, multiple storylines are tied together when a bank-robbery turns into an accidental hostage situation at a nearby open-house.
This book was SO funny! It really took me by surprise in multiple places where serious subjects were turned humorous by the voice of the story. There were also so many surprises with plot throughout the book, and twists and turns I didn't see coming. I ultimately really enjoyed the messages it gave and how everything tied together!
