I really enjoyed this. I thought this was gonna be a straightforward bank heist style story. Just a fight for survival, but it ended up being so much more than that. It was very dark and deep in a way YA usually isn't and I even found myself forgetting that this was a YA book.
I don't want to give away too much, but I really loved Nora and everyone she franken-friended.
Crying score: yes and you would too for a check.
