I absolutely loved this book as soon as I picked it up. I was invested right at the beginning by Nora's voice and the intensity. I loved the drama of franken-friends and the relationships and then BAM bank robbery. This was high stakes the entire time and I was on the edge of my seat. I seriously didn't want to put it down.
The best part of this book in my opinion is how well the author incorporates the flashbacks of Nora's past with the present day. It all flows so smoothly and keeps you furiously turning pages the whole time! I loved it. Also the found family aspect is *chef's kiss*.
Also, the author, Tess Sharpe, narrates the audiobook and it is amazing and I definitely recommend!
