Loved the book and it's so we'll written ! The only flaw I found it was a bit slow to me and sometimes some subplot came out of nowhere! 
I loved every characters (except the parents of course 🙄 but since I didn't like them because of theirs actions, I can say they're well rounded characters), theirs relationships with one and each other, Aoife and Finn's relationship was a delight to read and the brothers and their dynamic were so funny !

The talk about other organized crime groups tip toes on feeling xenophobic at times. Coercion. Tons of lying.
