"I listened to this as an audio book which I VERY highly recommend. The main character is constantly girlbossing and being gay which is very appealing to me, as I am frequently being gay and girlbossing as well. The writing style was very unique cutting between a bank robbery, the main characters messy(mafia involved?) past, and utilizing things like lists and elaborate plans to show the inner workings of the mc's insanely cunning brain 4/5 just bc I started to lose interest at the last chapters"
