When you are out of money what choice do you have but steal from those closest to you? That is the premise of the story and I found it highly imaginative. This book is funny and makes you want to root for the characters. If you are looking for a great romcom you will want to add this book to your TBR!

This was so much fun!!! It’s like Oceans 11 minus 9. Dry and quirky British humor. Fun characters. Interesting plot. All around great. My only dislike was that the spice faded to black.

WOW! Just what I needed as a palate cleanser. I loved the plot, characters, everything. I laughed so much reading this book.

God this was such a fun ride!!!! It was an interesting look into the lives of rich straight white people and british "people"
Made me think a lot about my own life and how i may experience my 20s and 30s with cishet rituals and performances as someone who is so painfully queer. I loved harper the lesbian american and was surprised how she was actually a fleshed out character and not just a gag stock caricature of a predatory/token lesbian, having her be a white academic w rich parents she doesnt talk to was also a nice touch!
The main romance was also refreshingly healthy (for a straight couple) and full of love and fun and hard realities that was still romanticized enough to be an entertaining read. Despite being straight that is
All in all, i love scamming rich people, rich people have no morals, and i love love!

The main character had too much "I'm not like other girls" energy.
