Huh? Did I read a different book from everyone else? I know this is YA and I'm not the target audience but... what?

Starting with what I liked: there were good intentions and good themes and the atmosphere really hit sometimes. I can see a lot of potential in the premise and characters. Unfortunately, the execution was really lacking for me. There was no distinction between character voices in the three different POVs and often in the middle of a chapter it felt like it would just switch for a line or two, which threw me off constantly. The first half really dragged because it felt like too much time was spent planning for the heist rather than executing it. And maybe this is an unpopular opinion but the twists at the end did not shock me at all. They actually seemed a little cheap because it felt like purposeful exclusion of important backstory elements for the sake of shock. I would have rather been less shocked and had more of that information earlier to be able to have a deeper connection with characters from the start. But that's just me. And the romances... no comment lol.
