(3) YA Readers who get past the outlandish premise of high schoolers pulling Ocean's 11–style heists are in for a well-paced, exciting ride. In alternating chapters, the strong voices of rich-girl adrenaline-chaser Lexi and Mexican gang–manipulated Christian offer two narratives that intersect in a satisfying way. The characters--particularly spoiled Lexi--become more likable as this star-crossed-romance/crime-thriller mash-up progresses.
