Welcome to Litsy!

This is the funniest book I‘ve read since The Guncle. An all asexual online friend group meets in Las Vegas to find incriminating evidence of a casino owner. I mean, that‘s a great concept. The writing was a little difficult- I just didn‘t jive with it- but the jokes, characters, and plot were awesome. I wanted a little more heist, given it was the subtitle to this book, but it definitely delivered on everything else. 5⭐️

Jack Shannon is away at his private school when his mother, a casino owner in Las Vegas, is hauled off to jail. Jack is determined to clear his family's name so he calls on his closest group of friends- teens from his online asexual support group that he hasn't actually met. Together the teens plan to infiltrate a high-stakes gambling club. What could possibly go wrong?

Jack‘s mother has been arrested, he believes she‘s been thrown under the bus by a competing casino owner. What else is a boy to do but recruit the ace friends he made online to commit a heist to save his mom?

This was so charming! Heists! Found family! Ace representation! Amazing narration! Loved that the teens weren‘t all prodigies.

The pacing was a little uneven, & none of the characters got the depth I really wanted. But still fun! 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑
