The fact that it takes place on the titanic takes away from the heist aspect of it. Would have been better as one or the other. Characters go through development and grow but it kind of comes out of nowhere, doesn't feel like genuine growth but something that just happens for the sake of character development.

thethingwithfeathers's review against another edition

I wanted to love this book so bad. Sapphic heist on the titanic? I was so ready. 

- lack of excitement in the narrative 
- poorly developed back stories that clung to stereotypes
- aggressive racism from the white character towards the only black woman main character that, according to reviews by people who finished, never gets addressed properly.
