This is my number one anticipated book!!! I cannot tell you how excited I was when my request was approved!! I absolutely love a good con artist book, and this one was by far the best one I’ve ever read! Love the character development, the plot, the twists, and the end! The only part I was bummed about was toward the end when a certain male character never got a chance to explain his story, but other than that, an absolute 5 star read!!!! I can’t wait to see what books she has in the future!! If your request is approved for this book, drop everything you’re doing and read it!!!!

This is the kind of book I usually enjoy, but I just couldn’t get a handle on this one. I found the main character LIZ, incredibly flawed and not likable. . Her life as a con artist is offensive, she is too heartless and self-involved to be sympathetic or exciting. Often, even a crook has characteristics that draw in the reader, not Liz.

As part of a con, Liz imitates a wealthy woman, Isabelle. Her action, makes me feel that she is not a wily con artist or thief, it seems she endlessly bumbles and acts with irrational stupidity. Rather than taking her lucre, she falls into the life of wealth, despite all the many red flags.

So I cannot recommend this book to fans of this genre, willing to wink at charming crooks….she is not one. Thank you Netgalley for this novel.
