Did not finish book. Stopped at 50%.
I really am liking this, but it's a slower read which I don't have the time for right now

Thank you to NetGalley for an arc-copy of this book.

This book is like a lot of other YA books. There is one scene in particular that reminds me of my favourite band of teenage criminals, the Crows. But even though it's individual aspects aren't unique the way the author made them all come together made it a really fun read. I liked the characters and the found family was a lot of fun. The ending made excited for it's sequel.
