Rating: ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆
This novel had a fun premise, but failed to hit the mark for me. I understand that the basis for the plot could have led to funny hijinks and clever-heist montages, but this just felt forced and contrived. The characters, both main and supporting, are one dimensional, show very little growth and don’t have the kind of palpable chemistry you expect from the genre. As for the plot, there were many great set-ups, but at the end it all crumbles predictably with everyone just saying “okay cool” and flouncing away. I wouldn't say it was a bad, or poorly written book, but given the wealth of great novels in the genre, this one could be a pass.
