Week 19 Review: Heiress Takes All

From Goodreads:

The Inheritance Games meets Ocean's 11 in this thrilling YA adventure about a teenager determined to pull off the perfect heist in the midst of her father's wedding.

Seventeen-year-old Olivia Owens isn't thrilled that her dad's getting remarried...again. She's especially not thrilled that he cheated on her mom, kicked them out of their Rhode Island home, and cut Olivia out of her rightful inheritance.

But this former heiress has a plan for revenge. While hundreds of guests gather on the grounds of the gorgeous estate where she grew up, everyone will be thinking romance—not robbery. She'll play the part of dutiful daughter, but in reality she'll be redistributing millions from her father's online accounts. She only needs the handwritten pass code he keeps in the estate's safe.

With the help of an eclectic crew of high school students and one former teacher, Olivia has plotted her mid-nuptial heist down to the second. But she didn't plan for an obnoxiously nosy wedding guest, an interfering ex-boyfriend intent on winning her back, greedy European cousins with their own agenda, or a vengeful second wife. When everything seems like it's going wrong, Olivia has to keep her eyes on what really matters: getting rich. And when she's done, "something borrowed" will be the understatement of the year.

My Review:
I had such a great time reading this book! I've really enjoyed other books by this duo, and this book sounded really excellent, and boy, it was! This girl bringing together a team to rob her father on the day that he's getting married? Yeah, it was such a cool concept! 

All of these people had reasons why they were taking part in the heist, and a lot of them stemmed from her dad being such a huge asshole, with a bunch of money that frankly, he didn't need to have. So watching this group pull of this heist, it was thoroughly entertaining! 

There were a lot of tense moments, and there were a fair number of emotional moments. These characters were done wrong, and luckily, together they had the ability to get back. Olivia, between the stress of plotting this out, and seeing an old familiar face, had a lot going on and I loved it! 

Oh, but I really enjoyed that ending, it as really satisfying, to watch the group come together after being victorious in the heist, and while it was sad to see them disband, well, they had to. But that last bit with her grandmother, that could be, and hopeful is, set up to make this a series, which I'd love to see! 

Loved reading this book, and if it becomes a series, I'll definitely read it!
