About this deal

On the other hand, the other girls, Violet and Emilie, felt quite bland in comparison and I never became truly interested in their narratives. But careless mistakes, old grudges, and new romance threaten to jeopardize everything they’ve worked for and put them in incredible danger when tragedy strikes. Sir Bill Taylor has almost fifty years of successful experience in public service as a full-time youth and community worker, manager and trainer professionally and as a Councillor, Committee chair, Executive Member, Mayor and deputy Mayor, Deputy Leader and Leader of Blackburn with Darwen Council. Content Warnings (per the title page of the ARC): This book contains mentions of parental neglect, parenta

Hinnah from Karachi is the youngest of the group, and she’s eager to leave a thankless job at the circus and put her contortionist abilities to better use aboard the Titanic by sneaking through circulation vents and into locked cabins. I’m not sure what age range this book falls into but the writing style is a little young in the words and the pacing but at some points the actions do not match this younger age style. These four young women are so incredibly well-drawn that you’re rooting for them to succeed in crime.The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products. I sympathize with Hinnah on never feeling like she was enough or could be accepted for who she was, but if we don't get any insight into WHY her parents acted the way they did, the readers are left with the same old "my brown parents are oppressive" shit that the Western world loves to eat up and use as justification on why no woman would ever want to voluntarily choose modesty. These were dedicated to Josefa assembling her crew, which is the kind of beat that I really enjoy in any kind of heist plot. I stopped at 53% and still wouldn’t be able to tell you anything deep about them because we learned nothing of their background apart from a couple small things.

A fun side effect is that almost immediately I started looking up the numbers and doing the math, trying to figure out the percentages, trying to figure out what the odds were that all four of our lead characters would/could survive the inevitable. But I do think it's funny that Jaigirdar joined in on the discourse given the problematic content in her own book lmao). Her ride-or-die on this heist, and in life, is Violet, a Croatian actress who could charm the pants off just about anyone she meets. But they feel any, and all inherent risk is proportional to the reward and proceed with the task at hand, certainly not accounting for a Force Majeure type of situation, like say, colliding with a giant iceberg.The majority of the novel ended up being a bunch of meaningless dithering about on the Titanic, which was intended to…build up the suspense, I supposed, but it felt like far too many pages of The Gang running around the ship, chatting with a boy or two, trying to throw the guards off their trail, and making no progress whatsoever. And even though any darker-skinned passengers were simply referred to as “Italians” by crew members, this is simply and obviously not the case.
