*Over the last couple of months I've seen this title on several must read lists for summer 2020. One day after a visit with her mother, my wife brought home a copy of the novel. Her mom had read it and said she could NOT put it down. I guess I had my next novel published for adults.
What It Is About - FIVE Things You Need to Know:
1. *Nina loves a good con. Why wouldn't she being that her own mother was a master of the ultimate con. What It Is About - FIVE Things You Need to Know:
2. *Vanessa doesn't need to con anyone since she comes from one of the wealthiest families in the states.
3. *When Nina was in high-school she met Vanessa's brother Benny. The two of them began to hang out, but Benny's family didn't approve of Nina or her life.
4. *When Nina's mother becomes seriously ill, she must find a way to get enough money to pay for the necessary medical treatments.
5. *The time has come for the con to end all cons. Nina and a partner head back into the world of Vanessa, which ultimately leads her back to Benny.
What I Thought Of It - Five Observations/Reflections:
1. *I love a strong story line, a page turner, and memorable characters. This book had them all.
2. *This was the perfect novel published for adults to be read during summer vacation. Nothing too heavy, but an engaging plot and interesting characters.
3. *There were plenty of surprises and twists and turns along the way. I never knew what was going to happen in the next chapter.
4. *Even though both female characters had their flaws, I still found myself liking each of them in their own "special" way.
5. *The idea of wanting what the rich and famous have, is strewn throughout the pages of the book and show no matter how much money or access one has; that isn't going to bring true happiness.
Who Should Read It:
I think most adult readers would enjoy the story. If you are heading on a "safe" vacation or staying safe at home, I highly recommend the book for your summer enjoyment. Happy Reading!
