When I read what the book was about and then the first pages, I wasn't too thrilled about it. I wondered wether it would revolve around the bank heist only, which, let's be honest, would have been super boring. But it was more than that.

In fact, the spine of the book is not the main event: it is the protagonist's backstory—a rich and involved one, which kept me on edge the whole time. To be fair, most of the flashbacks only have a superfluous correlation with the main event but it allows the author to tackle some heavy subjects and instil a new dynamism into an otherwise blend narrative.

Also, lovers to friends is such a good trope.

As for the style, some sentences seemed taken from a 'Girls quotes' Tumblr account or something which threw me off a little because of how unnatural they sounded but other than that the writing does the job: it is fast-paced and punchy, just as expected from this kind of story.

Would defo recommend to anyone who wants to read a quick and innovative (in form) YA thriller :)
