The Scam List by Kurt Dinan

5.0

This was my first Kurt Dinan book. I got this book as an ARC on NetGalley. It was such a thrilling and exciting read. A teenager who wants to help his mom recover 15.000 dollars, through scams.
I know now, to never ever engage in a bar bet, so thank you Dinan.
It was such a funny and whitty book.
Darby is such an exciting female character. The absolute bad ass of this book, and I thought it was interesting to see how teenage hormones mixed with rage, but containment.
Read the book in two days, was a thrilling ride. I would absolutely recommend the book if you like unlikely characters, an adventure of sorts and stories about the underdog. In a way it reminded me of some of Carl Hiaasen's story telling (good guys, but also bad, bad guys who can always get worse). Can't wait to see what Kurt writes next.
