A story about a thief turned con artist caught in a web of lies she spun herself, only in hopes of getting out as swiftly as she can.. to claim the identity she protected the most; but ironically, getting out may cost her everything (including her own life).
I found this book quite intriguing and was hooked from the beginning, but somewhere in the middle I felt that it was getting a little bit repetitive; but I still appreciated the plot twists as well as the ending.
It was a nice ride — though not really a book I’d be thinking about for a long time afterward; except for feeling like I should probably protect my own identity more (especially on the internet LOL).
