Women of Good Fortune

I just finished Women of Good Fortune by Sophie Wan and here are my thoughts.

Lulu doesn't want to get married but when the most eligible bachelor proposes... It's the answer to your family's money problems. Money makes the world go round and that is all that matters right?
She doesn't love him and the only people she can tell are her 2 best friends.

Jane and Rina are the people she trusts and when a crazy idea comes to Jane, they could all be free... The amount of money Lulu's money will bring in gifts is enough to fix all three women's problems. They plan a heist but things will not be easy for any of them.

The idea of an all woman heist? SOLD! It didn't disappoint either. I could really connect with Rina and I could respect Jane after getting to know her. All three women have something special and the fact they have to work 5 times harder than a man to get the basics of rights is sad and infuriating. You can see why they want to do what they do.

I loved all the heist preparation. I was fully invested in the ins and outs of what they would have to do to get their payday! The book was entertaining as all hell and I actually chuckled a few times during the book. It was beautifully written and so much fun. The friendship between the women was probably my favorite part of the whole book. All so different but all fiercely loyal to each other.

Definitely one of my favorites of the year!

4.5 stars thank you to @netgalley and @harlequinbooks for my gifted copy!

OUT NOWWWWWWW

I started out not liking these women and it took a while to get better. But by the end I was happy that I stuck with it and that they learned and grew as people. Yes there was a heist, but that wasn't the part that intrigued me the most. Lulu, Rina, and Jane were compelling characters that sometimes made me want to scream and sometimes made me want to hug them. The ending was mostly what I wanted it to be, but it would have been unrealistic for what I wanted to happen, so I can't complain too much.
If you want to read about unlikable characters that are discovering who they truly want to be and how they want to get there, pick this book up.
