A review by emileereadsbooks
The Frame-Up by Gwenda Bond

medium-paced

2.5

On paper this book should have been catnip to me. I love a heist novel. I enjoy magical realism. But for some reason I just couldn't connect to this one. I slogged through the audio even listening at 3x. I can't really pinpoint what didn't click, and I did finish it, but as I sit 30 minutes after it's over trying to write this review I have nothing to say about it other than, it was boring... And I hate to say that, but I think there are better heist books to spend your time on.

I suggest: the Charlie Thorne Series (middle grade), Thieves Gambit (YA), or Rook to King (rom com). 

Thanks to Del Rey for the complimentary copy. All opinions are my own.
