Who knows how long it has been since I wrote a review? Actually I know, it has been almost 6 months. But here I am with one. So read on to find how The Girls I\u2019ve Been<\/a> by Tess Sharpe turned out for me.<\/p>\n Book Name: The Girls I\u2019ve Been<\/a><\/p>\n Author: Tess Sharpe<\/p>\n Genre: Fiction \u2013\u00a0Thriller<\/a>,\u00a0Young adult<\/a><\/p>\n Characters:\u00a0Nora and Lee O\u2019Mallery, Wes, Iris<\/p>\n Setting: Clear Creek, California<\/a>,\u00a0The USA<\/a><\/p>\n Have you read The Girls I\u2019ve Been by Tess Sharpe? What is your first book of the year? What is your favorite con artist book? Let us talk. <\/a><\/span>Share on X<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Nora O\u2019Malley and her friends were not prepared for being held hostages when they went to the bank that morning. Neither were the robbers prepared for these normal looking teens to foil their heist. They were especially not prepared for Nora to be an ex con artist.<\/p>\n Before she became Nora O\u2019Malley, she was a number of other girls \u2013 a prop for her mother to lure gullible men into their sweetheart trap. She was raised to be a con artist herself until she escaped.<\/p>\n Did the hostages survive? Did the bank heist succeed? You will have to read The Girls I\u2019ve Been<\/a> by Tess Sharpe to know more.<\/p>\n The Girls I\u2019ve Been<\/a> follows a multiple timelines \u2013 a bank heist in the present and Nora\u2019s numerous cons in the others. While I loved the present timeline, the narrative style of some of the other timelines didn\u2019t sit well with me. Too distracting from the heist part, if I may.<\/p>\n I really enjoyed the strong and complex background stories of each of these characters and their complicated family dynamics.<\/p>\n The Girls I\u2019ve Been had so many beautiful and strong relationship angles. I loved that the romance (Sapphic or any other kind) didn\u2019t entirely take over any of them, and the platonic friendship was exceptional.<\/p>\n I especially adored Nora\u2019s very dependable and devoted sister Lee, the only adult in The Girls I\u2019ve Been who deserved to be with these teens.<\/p>\n The Girls I\u2019ve Been<\/a> is full of strong women and smart girls, and I hope you will love Iris as much as I did. And another yay for the strong LGBTQIA+ and good mental health representations.<\/p>\n Child abuse (mental, physical & sexual), surviving said abuse, domestic abuse, rape, sexual assault, More from CW from the author\u2019s site.<\/a><\/p>\n![\"The](\"http:\/\/elgeewrites.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/the-Girls-Ive-Been-by-Tess-Sharpe-book-review-cover.jpg\" "\\"The")
