This is completely ridiculous and over the top but in a really fun way. I loved it, it was funny and tense at the same time. It felt like a more wholesome version of Good Girls, not in plot or characters but in the feel of it. Suburban housewife attempts to be a criminal and all the ways it goes hilariously wrong. Considering how cheesy (in a fun way) this is I’m surprised at the depth of character development and the self awareness of the book. It completely acknowledges that Finlay’s life is nothing more than luck and coincidences but goes with it and it works. It’s action packed, really quick to read and has great supporting characters. Ps I’m routing for Nick.
