This was like reading a speed run, there was no depth and no details.

Very disappointing

I wanted to love this: Team of diverse girls staging a HEIST of a jewel-encrusted book aboard the Titanic. What's not to love?
Unfortunately, the leader Josefa has an irritating backstory (running away to thieve because a life of material comfort is too confining) and we don't spend enough time with the other girls to really round out their motivations or relationships with one another as they rush aboard and the countdown to sinking begins. ⬇️

CaramelLunacy We don't spend enough time forming a clever plan that utilizes everyone's strengths, and we don't get enough sense of place to put the reader aboard Titanic. Not to mention Josefa's secret motivation makes even less sense than the rest of her impulsive ill-thought-through behaviour. I liked the other girls, though and wanted to spend more time with them. 12mo
BookmarkTavern I had the same problems with Josefa. I wanted more of all the other characters! 12mo

Four young women. One priceless book. And one fool proof plan. What could possibly go wrong on board the unsinkable Titanic?

This had a lot of things I loved. Well researched historical events, a countdown, diverse representation, ships, HEISTS. But the pacing was too slow, then too rushed at the end. A lot goes wrong just to go wrong. We didn‘t get nearly the character depth I wanted. & the ending left me a little disappointed. 🌕🌕🌕🌗🌑

I just loved this book so much. I really enjoyed that it took place on The Titanic. Knowing the fate of the ship I was very eager to find out the fate of the girls not only on the ship but with their mission. It was so good!

Perfect narration! Titanic! A heist! And it's gay as heck! There's something vaguely frightening about knowing what's going to happen to the ship itself and not knowing if the characters you're getting all attached to are going to live, and I kinda loved it. ⭐⭐⭐⭐
