"The heist story part of this book was fast-paced and fun, and really kept me guessing even after I thought I'd had it figured out. I also really enjoyed the character of Puo, the protagonist's best friend and tech buddy.<br/><br/>However, the protagonist herself and her love interest were both so irritating that if the heist plot hadn't been so interesting I would have dropped this book about halfway through. Isa is self-absorbed and awful to nearly everyone around her (especially other women) and for someone raised into crime she is TERRIBLE at not being noticed because she like can't resist being rude all the time. Winn's appearance is enough to suck all the joy out of any section he appears in. He is sullen and miserable and constantly either yelling or withdrawn. I have no idea what these two saw in each other."
