kricketa's review against another edition
totally ridiculous. a bunch of stereotypical mobsters dorking around, and we're expected to believe that the teenage daughter is in charge while her best friend hacks into the bank's computer system in 5 minutes flat?

2.0
some spoilers
- i remember reading this and the second book back when it first came out but never finished the series bc i was waiting for the 3rd book but then i forgot about the release
- which goes without saying, it’s a very forgettable book
- nothing really happens
- and it’s written very simply
- i mean it’s from 2007 so... there are issues
- not to mention that the solutions for the “problems” are so simple a 16/17 year old comes up with them....... over men who’ve been in the mob for years, decades but they have to turn to a teen to help with their problems?? lol ok
- also because it is so simple there’s no development or really any kind of background to the characters. they’re very 2D and don’t make you care about them at all. and there’s just no feeling to them?
- and at the same time some of them felt much older or younger than they’re supposed to be?
- also where does this take place??? bc the whole time i thought cali but apparently they’re within driving distance to atlantic city, which would mean new jersey (or even new york, tho i’m guessing more nj), yet she has an outdoor pool party in january?? something isn’t adding up
- also idk i just find it weird for an adult male author to write about two teens girls talking about sex, especially randi who brings it up in almost every scene she’s in. not to say teen girls don’t do that and that it shouldn’t be in the book, it just rubs me the wrong way
- also nick is an actual adult. he’s like 21-23 years old and yet... him and kate sleep together... oof
- kate really only does think about boys which can get annoying because girl... your uncle is trying gain control of the family, the rival mob family is stepping on your territory, your mom just left, your dad has a pregnant gf, all that ON TOP OF SCHOOL.... literally WHOMST has the time to think about boys rn
- but yes i will be continuing bc it’s been years and i wanna know how it ends akdnsj
