Medici Heist 'A cinematic thrill ride of a story' The Duffer Brothers

This was a gripping read with cool characters and an interesting historical setting. Due to its Criminal Found Family on a Heist trope it reminded me of Leigh Bardugo's Crows and Roshani Chokshi's Gilded Wolves series, however it wasn't simply a copy and the historical background gave it an interesting twist. I really liked the different characters and the (small) insight we get into their lives and thus their motives. Due to the many perspectives there wasn't a loot of room for elaborate background stories but I still managed to get a feel for all of them. The guys especially were just how cute can people be? The characters did feel a little ya inbetween, which is natural as they are still young, and in this case it didn't bother me as much as in other books because there was so much going on that there was no room for over the top teen drama (and the historical context helped as well). The heist itself was very interesting and well thought-out, I just wish there would have been a little more detail on what they had planned beforehand and their respective roles, as the reader is left in the dark for most part of the book. Of course that makes it exciting but for me it created a little too much distance and questionmarks in my head Languagewise the book was easy to read and I loved the short chapters and quick changes of perspective to keep up to date with everyone. Just the PDF format from the e-arc was a pain to read on my phone (tiiiny)... Thanks to Netgalley and Little Brown Books for the e-arc! I would definitely recommend this book to all fans of criminal found family, Florence and and snarky but awesome characters.
