Every so often I borrow like 20 audiobooks from Libby at a time just because I can't figure out what I'm in the mood for, and I love doing that because I come across gems like this that I see no one talking about! This was such a fun read. Jillian comes from a family of conartists and has just returned from a 3 year prison stint after she took the fall for their scams, and that's all I'm going to tell you because the less you know the better.
The story at its core is really a family drama but the mystery is trying to figure out who sold Jillian out, how she's going to punish her family, and how they're trying to thwart her from doing that makes it so much more. We've got drama, backstabbing, snark, mystery, with a side of romance. This does switch between a couple different perspectives with only one narrator which left me a little confused sometimes before I figured out who was talking so it may be better as a physical read but I still really enjoyed it!
