The Girls I've Been

Tess Sharpe

Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

A slick, twisty YA page-turner about the daughter of a con artist who is taken hostage in a bank heist. Nora O’Malley’s been a lot of girls. As the daughter of a con-artist who targets criminal men, she grew up as her mother’s protégé. But when mom fell for the mark instead of conning him, Nora pulled the ultimate con: escape. For five years Nora’s been playing at normal. But she needs to dust off the skills she ditched because she has three problems: #1: Her ex walked in on her with her girlfriend. Even though they’re all friends, Wes didn’t know about her and Iris. #2: The morning after Wes finds them kissing, they all have to meet to deposit the fundraiser money they raised at the bank. It’s a nightmare that goes from awkward to deadly, because: #3: Right after they enter bank, two guys start robbing it. The bank robbers may be trouble, but Nora’s something else entirely. They have no idea who they’re really holding hostage…

    Fast-paced and fun in some parts, but...

    Nora was too unbelievable. There was a lot of telling me that she was smart, a fantastic con artist, etc. but not too much of Nora actually being smart or conning anyone. Even in the flashbacks, I felt like the author had Nora be the same quiet little girl, only with different hairstyles and outfits. Honestly, most of the backstory felt very repetitive.

    Looking forward to Millie as Nora though.
