I wanted to love this book, but I didn’t. It wasn’t a bad book, I liked the idea and the concept of the story and it had loveable and mostly relatable characters. However, something that annoyed me was the repetition of stuff. I didn’t like that about the writing style. Another thing was that details about the heist were kept away (I guess for mysterious reasons) but it didn’t really worked out as I kept questioning the reality per se.
