This was a fun, albeit slightly off the rails and unbelievable thriller. I read it in a single day. Summer and Leo are best friends but also partners in crime con artists. They are their chosen family, the only family either young woman has. They live in Summer’s tricked-out Land Cruiser and fund their lifestyle via a string of petty crimes. Summer is an expert pick-pocket, and Leo has her eyes set on a big fish: tech billionaire Michael Forrester. When Leo’s plans go better than expected, and she lands herself an invitation to his private island, she has dollar signs, stolen jewelry, and blackmail in her eyes. But when Leo disappears, Summer knows that something has to be wrong. She finagles an invitation of her own to the island but when she arrives, no one has seen Leo. She has to take things into her own hands and figure out what really happened. There is only one way onto the island (and no way off until their tech conference ends). Summer finds herself trapped, uncertain of how she will find her best friend. This one has a lot of holes and goes a little off the rails, but it’s fun. It would be a great beach read; enjoyable to read and it keeps you on your toes.
