Review 3 stars
Honestly, this book was probably one of the best written books I've read. I absolutely loved the writting style, the pace of the book, the characters and their design, and the dynamics between characters. THe dynamic between Sam and Vic was great (except for this one weird moment that made me cringe so hard). That being said, the plot was quite particular and very random. I felt like the MC was just going through traumatic experience to bank robery (????) and then more traumic experiences. With everything the MC went through, the ending was so disappointing. It felt like all this build up was for nothing. Overall, I didn't mind reading this book, I might even say I liked it because of the writing style, but I'm not going to go around recommending this book. It wasn't life chaning or anything, but if you're looking for a book to read when you're bored, this one's ok.
