I received this free eARC novel from NetGalley. This is my honest review.

This has been on my TBR pile for so long, and I'm glad I finally got around to it. I really enjoyed the storyline and seeing the characters change throughout the story was a great character development. The plot was great and kept my attention. I'm glad I got the chance to read this and will be on the lookout for more in the future!

I purchased this for my school library and had high hopes that my students would enjoy it, but there have been very few checkouts to date. Hoping it will pick up.

This book has a great premise and the writing is engaging enough making for a quick read but I couldn’t connect with the characters which stopped me from fully loving it.

Don't get Caught is an extremely funny book, suitable for teenagers/young adults. Be prepared for fun characters, pranks and twists in the story, making it a thoroughly entertaining read!

My middle school students enjoyed reading this one together in student-created book clubs. The character development was well done by Dinan and allowed students to have some great discussions.

A quick read perfect for reluctant readers filled with page-turning pranks and heists as an unlikely group of friends takes on the Chaos Club.

I have to admit that when I started reading Don't Get Caught, I thought it would be just another book about stupid teenagers set on revenge. However, when I finished the book, not only was I entertained, but I learned a lot of things as well. Something people should know about me is that I rarely like books without romance in it, which goes a long way in proving how amazing this book is for me to have given it 4.5 stars.

Don't Get Caught is about how a prank bought 5 people, who mostly never talked before, together to exact revenge on the ones who pulled a prank on them. Our main protagonist is Max, who uses this opportunity to reconstruct himself. Through their brainstorms, we see how smart Max is, and how he grew from being timid to being an independent individual who didn't let others and the norm dictate what he should do.

Don't Get Caught is one of the most entertaining reads I've read in a long time. This book is full of pranks pulled by Max's group, the Water Tower 5. Though I never laughed out loud, it was just entertaining to watch everything unfold. Something I really liked about this is how there's also a little bit of mystery amid the pranks, and there were two bombs revealed in the end *wink wink* One is something that I kind of expected, and the other was totally unexpected for me.

One of the things that I liked about this book is how this book has a male protagonist and is written by a male author. I rarely am able to read books with male protagonists, much less ones written by male authors. I just felt like it is much more authentic this way, in terms of how the character thinks.

Also, I really love how Max grew in this novel. From a timid kid, he slowly gained confidence because of the pranks that they pulled. Yes, he did some questionable things in the book, but it was all part of his growth process. Max showed how smart he is, and how loyal he is to the ones he considers as friends. He's also compassionate in a way that he doesn't want to hurt others in the process of them going after the Chaos Club.

Another thing I really liked is how the author didn't just completely focus on Max, but was also able to focus on each character and let their own personalities exude. And my gosh, one of the best things about this book is how the author, through Wheeler's character, showed that anyone could change for the better, given enough encouragement. I love how the author showed that, because characters like Wheeler who always fails classes are usually portrayed as hopeless or is ridiculed by everyone. On the other hand, varsity players, like Adleta, are usually shown as jerks, but in this book, Adleta is actually pretty cool. Even before being friends with the other 4, Adleta didn't act like he was better than everyone else, like the stereotype of jocks in most books. Ellie is the daughter of religious parents, but has a rebellious streak in her. Malone is the amazing, talented artist who also had amazing growth in this book.

In short, this book is so much more than just teenagers who pulls numerous pranks on the school. This book has so much meaning, while also providing a lot of entertainment. This book is definitely a must-read!

*Book Received in Exchange for Honest Opinion/Review*

This book was the perfect fun and light read I was hoping it would be. I was in the mood for something playful with minor romance and when I read the description and saw pranks...my mind immediately went to Ocean's 11. I love these heist movies and this was just like that except at the high school level. I honestly hope there is a sequel down the road because there was a major plot twist at the ending and I would love to see how that plays out in a second book.

The story itself was delightful and had me smiling and laughing, I couldn't put the book down. It was a quick, fast read with an action packed plot that I couldn't help but turn the page to see what would happen next. The endless pranks, the rag-tag team of misfits who eventually find themselves and form friendships had my heart feeling all kinds of giddy.

Max is adorable, awkward and I couldn't help but silently cheer him on. The Chaos Club is amazing, and I wish something of this epic-proportions existed when I was in high school. I honestly can't sum this book up any more then its the perfect read if you want something that will leave you light-hearted and happy. I mean I am still smiling as I type this review.

I thought this book was refreshing. It was nice to have a male character and a great story about a series of pranks and a typical highschool experience for small time living. Definitely a light fun read.

Will not be providing a review for this novel, sorry for the inconvenience, but thank you to the publisher for the opportunity.
