IN THE PRESS

“

Genre-savvy, clever, and full of "Heist Rules" like "If questioned, be evasive" and "Play to your crew's strengths," Don't Get Caught's twisty tale is funny, fast-paced, and full of surprises.

“

Pop culture references, short chapters, and laugh-out-loud narrative moments make Don't Get Caught an additional purchase for reluctant readers or fans of films like The Perfect Score.

“

Funny, clever, and playful, this debut is an enjoyable romp that pairs high-stakes cons with a ragtag gang of highschool misfits.
