16yo Kat and her grandmother Gem are in disguise at a posh store, scouting items that Gem can make at fractions of the cost with cubic zirconia. Little does Kat know, but Gem steals a real diamond ring. Kat’s mom is furious about Gem involving Kat in theft so she decides to travel to Maine for a job away from Gem. Meanwhile, elsewhere, 17yo Liam halts a con that his father is on by setting up a fake lunch date and explaining what his father is up to. Liam’s dad and Kat’s mom are con artists who were married for two days twelve years ago. They haven’t seen each other since until they both end up at the very same place in Maine. They’re both furious and are worried that the other one is going to ruin their plans. Unbeknownst to them, other crimes and cons are being committed in secret and these cons will change their lives forever.
I enjoyed the humor and sarcasm of Augustus (a side character). The layers of mystery are interesting and fun to see unravel. Kat, Liam and Augustus are great characters.
