I received an ARC through NetGalley and this is my voluntary and honest review.

Phil is far from a hardened criminal, but with her father's debt and illness hanging over their head, she needs money, fast. So when her hacker friend gets an offer to steal a priceless orchid from a botanical garden, what can she do?

The real shining light of this book for me is Phil and her father's relationship. I really felt the desperation and anxiety of having to be a parent to your parent, of having to be the 'adult' in the room and carry all that weight for them too. And the shame on the part of her father, who also knew this wasn't right. It was a very real and interesting dynamic. Every time when Phil wanted to back out, she stayed in for her father.

Of course, I also loved Phil and Lily's relationship, and as an extension Phil's genuine growing interest in the gardens and their history. Basically, I just think Phil was a great character and her character arc was amazing to read.

The side characters like Chaz and HG also shined, and I'm very fond of them.
