The Inheritance Games meets Ocean's 11 in this thrilling YA adventure about a teenager determined to pull off the perfect heist in the midst of her father’s wedding.
Seventeen-year-old Olivia Owens isn't thrilled that her dad's getting remarried...again. She's especially not thrilled that he cheated on her mom, kicked them out of their Rhode Island home, and cut Olivia out of her rightful inheritance.
But this former heiress has a plan for revenge. While hundreds of guests gather on the grounds of the gorgeous estate where she grew up, everyone will be thinking romance—not robbery. She’ll play the part of dutiful daughter, but in reality she’ll be redistributing millions from her father’s online accounts. She only needs the handwritten pass code he keeps in the estate's safe.
With the help of an eclectic crew of high school students and one former teacher, Olivia has plotted her mid-nuptial heist down to the second. But she didn't plan for an obnoxiously nosy wedding guest, an interfering ex-boyfriend intent on winning her back, greedy European cousins with their own agenda, or a vengeful second wife. When everything seems like it's going wrong, Olivia has to keep her eyes on what really matters: getting rich. And when she’s done, “something borrowed” will be the understatement of the year.
Review from Goodreads.com
Love me a good heist story!
I loved this! I’ve read all of this author duo’s books and this is definitely one of my favorites of theirs. I’m a big fan of heist stories anyway, so the premise got my attention.
The story follows Olivia, who, with the help of a team she has assembled, is attending her father’s wedding — to steal his fortune.
I love the urgency of a heist story. The need to plan for every contingency and the need to trust in the team. I was on the edge of my seat to see everything come together.
This book has a very fun cast of characters. I had no difficulty keeping them straight in my head because they all had totally different personalities and traits. I also loved the chess nicknames. They were so clever and fun! I would have to say, McCoy and Kevin stole the show for me. I loved both of them so much.
I wasn’t expecting the book to be as funny as was. A lot of times, heist stories and be tense and serious, and this one was at times, but there were also so many humorous moments and I laughed aloud quite a few times.
Both hilarious and heartfelt, with a cute romance and an engaging cast of characters, this was an excellent heist story. I can’t wait for the sequel! (Please????)
