4.5 stars

ok i enjoyed this so so much omg them being con artists and being like a team and a big family since ever it was just ugh i loved it!! hailey and phoebe's friendship and bond is just perfect, it reminds me of my and my best friend friendship where we've known each other since birth because our moms have been friendship since like they were kinda young, not that young like phoebe and hailey's moms but young and i just thing is so wonderful!! them having each others back and hailey wanting to just stop with the con missions and leave and try to live a normal honest life and phoebe just followed her i think it's beautiful truly!! phoebe is amazing, i feel like we will see more of her struggles and insecurities in the next books who knows, but i have a feeling she will be even more complex than she is, she's so caring deep down and trying the best she can to be honest! hailey tho, hailey definitely was my fave, i kinda relate to her, like a personality, her being the optimistic and happy person and always trying to see the best in people and in the situations!! also her being a gothic haha it's just so funny, that i don't really relate to but love her and she stole my heart since the first page!! when we finally figured it the true reason she wanted to go to a small town and try to live a normal honest life, truly the best person in the world i love her i need her to have a book like now! I need the authors to confirm that she will definitely have a book! then rocky was a interesting character and complex and having that responsibility to look after all of them, phoebe, hailey his brother trevor and phoebe's brothers nova and oliver, because he is the oldest yeah, i love him and his story with phoebe is definitely toxic and oh my so heartbroken but so beautiful and cute and the way they always had feelings for each other ugh!! also oliver????? i need more of him, he seemed like the comic relief golden retriever kinda of guy, always making jokes and always there foe everyone but deep down i know he has some complex thoughts and all idk but i need more of him and i know there weren't that many scenes but i have a feeling about hailey and oliver but idk if they will make another best friend's brother trope who knows but im so interested and kinda wishing doe hailey and oliver but let's see!! nova was cool, i mean need more of him to truly know but i liked him just hated how he was always "fighting" with rocky and rocky with him damn but yeah i liked him i guess, then trevor we don't see him that much but he has some issues and struggles but yeah i guess i liked him too, the one characters i didn't like tat much was their parents but yeah and some side characters that ew then jake was ok he was a good person i guess just don't care haha
but i had so much fun and idk what they put in the writing but i always fly through their books and this one was no exception, loved it, the characters and the plot idk i had so fun and the romance was good too soo, yeah i need book two now please!!! it's not truly five stars because i was always comparing them to the addicted characters and ugh i hate doing it that but yeah sorry they have a few similarities so sorry haha but still loved it!! still will care deeply about these characters and the story and their journey so let's go!!

Phoebe Graves grew up in a life of crime, using deception and seduction for con-jobs. The Graves and her best friend Hailey’s family are always on the run, and after a con job goes south, Phoebe and Hailey decide to leave their life of crime to start over in a small Connecticut town. The only problem? Hailey’s older brother, Rocky, insists on coming with them.

This was so entertaining. Three is lots of drama and twists and turns that made the book hard to put down for me.

I really liked Rocky and Phoebe, and there was so much tension between them. It’s a slow burn filled with lots of angst. You will be dying waiting for them to get together. The only thing that bugged me about their relationship is that we didn’t really see them have much meaningful connection in the present, and we were just mostly being told about their connection in the past.

I also really liked the found family element with the two families. I wished we would have gotten to know them a bit better in this book, so I hope that we get books for them in the rest of the series!

I am dying for the next book in the series to see what happens after the cliffhanger!
