The premise of this book is very interesting. It reminded me a bit of Ocean's 8 (due to doing time), but was still pretty unique as I haven't encountered a book that had a similar plot before. Eccentricities of the characters made it a more fun read. Although it seemed a bit rushed with the romance I thought it was a nice addition to not have a bland storyline.

Big fat no-- there was something about the dialogue that didn't work for me and I really struggled. DNF @ 45%.

I thought this was going to just be a book about rich people doing bad things. I was not expecting a romance in the middle of the chaos but I was pleasantly surprised reading this book. It does give the closed room, knifes out feeling without a murder. A lot of witty banter and the story is something I could see it being a movie in the future.

This book was funny, light hearted, and quirky! I loved all the family relationships and drama. The plot was engaging and I always love a good quirky character.

This was a really cute read, not very action-y, but I ended up enjoying it.
At first I was a bit hesitant about the narrator, because she set a certain tone with her narration voice, but eventually I got used to her and I think it makes sense why she was chosen.
The one thing I enjoyed most about this is the bodyguard romance which I wasn't expecting at all, but was glad that it was there. I think it's super cute.
As for the characters, I liked them but didn't connect to anyone, probably because there were so many of them and we didn't get the full backstory.

This was a fun story about bad family dynamics, with some comparisons to Knives Out. There wasn't any murder but I do enjoy a group of rich people behaving badly and found this to be a fairly fun and light "popcorn" read. If you like Cynthia D'Aprix Sweeney's "The Nest," Maggie Shipsteads "Seating Arrangements," and Emma Straub "The Vacationers," you might like this! Thank you very much to NetGalley and Avon and Harper Voyager | Avon for an early copy in exchange for my honest opinion. 3.5 stars rounded up to 4

Moorewood Family Rules was a funny and entertaining read, however I struggled to complete it and to connect with the characters. For this reason I am rating this book 3 stars.

I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for my review. Thanks to the publisher for providing this ARC.

I know I tried reading this, but couldn't get into it. I think I read a few chapters, but that's it. I'm sorry but thank you for the arc!

Entertaining, witty and charming are some of the best ways to describe this book. I loved every single minute of it.

This one made me laugh a lot. I loved this book and the family dynamic in it. I would recommend this to my friends.

This was a quick fun read. More about wild family dynamics than heists and hijincs, but still very enjoyable! Loved the main character and the great aunt, the rest of the characters varied in their degree of likability.

I was hoping for something fun and adventurous but I was bored the whole time. The blurb was better than the book as a whole.

Jillian is the oldest child from conman/heiress parents. She's the dependable one to went to prison to save them all. But now, she's out of prison and angry. She wants the crew to clean up their act and she has the leverage to make them to do it.

I went into this book blind and for the most part it was a good read. Nothing too spectacular, but enough to hold my attention and have me wondering how it would all wrap up. I would recommend it for anyone looking to have a quick read and a little knives out atmosphere.

I am in love with this book.

Take Dynasty and make the reason the family is rich based off of grifting. That is this book. I love how crazy this book is and it is extremely addictive. Jillian has just been released from jail and decides to come just to find her family is still grifting and ruining people's lives. She decides to take things back into her hands again and make the family go legit.

Why this book is good:
~Dual POV
~Bodyguard romance
~Realizing you're in love
~Turning the family legit
~Lots of chaos and drama

Thank you so much, Avon and NetGalley for the opportunity to arc-read this book in exchange for an honest review.

The plot of this book sounded so interesting I could not help requesting a copy. However, I was a little disappointed in the pacing and the character development in this story. It made it hard to connect with the characters and was repetitive at times. I DNF this one.

3.5 stars A fast, breezy tale about a dysfunctional family of con artists and the one member determined to drag them into respectability. I went in expecting a con-heavy plot, but I was so entertained by the shenanigans in this mess of a family that I wasn't disappointed in the least. I laughed and wondered how the heck Jillian would survive her relatives, and I savored some really excellent, dry dialogue that begged to be read aloud. Recommended for lots of fun and (occasionally misplaced heart).

My thanks to NetGalley and Avon and Harper Voyager for providing an eARC in exchange for an honest review.

Not what I wanted. More The Nest than Knives Out. I was hoping for some chaotic, heisty fun but it was actually more about the family dynamics than I was hoping.

I liked the humor, insight, and style of the novel. It was a quick and entertaining read that kept me engaged.

Middle ground read.
Jillian is back home from prison. One of her family members put her there to take the fall for their cons. Now she is back to cut them off from her mother's money and find out who took 1.5 year of her life.
All the characters are really annoying. Even Jillian. She goes for her bodyguard who she seems to have no interest in except for the fact that he's there. And he consistently described as "ugly hot".
Her family feels that they deserve her mother's money, even though they are her uncle and cousins?! They try little tricks to hurt her but eventually implode on their own.
This is not really a romance or a mystery that it is labeled. More of a family drama with some sneaking elements and a roll in the sheets. Everyone is trying to con the others because they are selfish with no depth and in the end not very smart either.
I was just let thinking that was fine.
