Summary

Soon to be a Netflix film starring Stranger Things' Millie Bobby Brown - this must-listen psychological thriller, perfect for fans of One of Us Is Lying, will leave you guessing until the very end. Don't miss the bonus interview with Tess Sharpe, exclusive to the audiobook! 

As an ex con artist, Nora has always got herself out of tricky situations. But the ultimate test lies in wait when she's taken hostage in a bank heist. And this time, Nora doesn't have an escape plan....

Meet Nora. Also known as Rebecca, Samantha, Haley, Katie and Ashley - the girls she's been.

Nora didn't choose a life of deception - she was born into it. As the daughter of a con artist who targeted criminal men, Nora always had to play a part. But when her mother fell for one of the men instead of conning him, Nora pulled the ultimate con herself: escape.

For five years Nora's been playing at normal - but things are far from it when she finds herself held at gunpoint in the middle of a bank heist, along with Wes (her ex-boyfriend) and Iris (her secret new girlfriend and mutual friend of Wes...awkward). Now it will take all of Nora's con artistry skills to get them out alive. 

Because the gunmen have no idea who she really is - that girl has been in hiding for far too long....

A very gripping story, I like books which immediately grab your attention by the end of the first chapter and this book succeeds there. It’s dramatic from start to finish.

Before reading the book I had worried it would have a bad portrayal of TikTok-style fake “DID” but fortunately it manages to explore identity issues without going there.

Abuse and disabilities are recurring themes in the book so a trigger warning if you are uncomfortable hearing those discussed.

There’s an interview with the author at the end. Honestly I skipped over that because I wasn’t interested, but that’s of note if you enjoy things like that.

Very gripping, TW for abuse and disabilities

Very good 👍. Though quite a lot of swearing so I probably recommend ages over 12 ( Also it has a lot of mature themes such as abuse, abortion, loss and betrayal so if any of these are triggering you should probably think about it hard before you buy it; If this is the case I recommend Never Trust A Gemini ). It’s really worth the money so I hope you try it out!

Very good 👍
