A good book, interesting one that will keep you on your toes wanting to read more. Definitely a gone in 60 second style novel. Decided the past weekend even to rewatch the film. One aspect that got me annoyed slightly was all the tears coming down like the main character was crying me a river.

the face, she's angry, scared and even more desperate. When her social worker offers her a deal that seems to good to be true, she's skeptical, but agrees. The next thing she knows, Jules and Emma are living in a mansion with three other foster teens, all with their own secrets and desperate needs. How those play out, requires them to pool their not-so-legal skills and learn to trust each other. This is a fast-paced and very satisfying read, one that took less than an afternoon.
