Who Would Like This Book:
Heist Society is the perfect blend of fast-paced action, clever heists, and memorable characters. Imagine Ocean’s 11, but with witty and resourceful teenagers jet-setting all over the world. At its heart is Kat Bishop - a smart, loyal, and determined heroine you can’t help but root for. If you love sharp dialogue, ‘found family’ vibes, a dash of art history, and the thrill of pulling off impossible cons, this one’s for you. Fans of movies like The Italian Job or TV shows like Leverage and White Collar will have a blast with this YA twist on the classic caper genre. Bonus: it’s got just the right amount of slow-burn, sweet romance.
Who May Not Like This Book:
Some readers might find the premise a little hard to buy - these teens pull off wild, globe-trotting heists with ease, which can feel unrealistic (especially if you expect your art thieves to be a bit older than high schoolers). A few folks wanted deeper character development or got confused by the rapid scene changes and large cast. If you prefer your reads to stick close to reality or want gritty, high-stakes moments, this might feel like a lighter, fluffier ride than you’re after.
