Heiress Takes All (A Reese’s Book Club Pick)

By: Emily Wibberley, Austin Siegemund-Broka

Narrated by: Laura Knight Keating

The Inheritance Games meets Ocean's 11 in this thrilling adventure about a teenager determined to pull off the perfect heist in the middle of her father’s wedding.

Seventeen-year-old Olivia Owens isn't thrilled that her dad's getting remarried...again. She's especially not thrilled that he cheated on her mom, kicked them out of their Rhode Island home, and cut Olivia out of her rightful inheritance.

But this former heiress has a plan for revenge. While hundreds of guests gather on the grounds of the gorgeous estate where she grew up, everyone will be thinking romance—not robbery. She’ll play the part of dutiful daughter, but in reality she’ll be redistributing millions from her father’s online accounts. She only needs the handwritten pass code he keeps in the estate's safe.

With the help of an eclectic crew of high school students and one former teacher, Olivia has plotted her mid-nuptial heist down to the second. But she didn't plan for an obnoxiously nosy wedding guest, an interfering ex-boyfriend intent on winning her back, greedy European cousins with their own agenda, or a vengeful second wife. When everything seems like it's going wrong, Olivia has to keep her eyes on what really matters: getting rich. And when she’s done, “something borrowed” will be the understatement of the year.

Protracted storyline and slow & loud narration

This the second book recommended by Reese’s book club that didn’t make the grade.i typically love a YA novel but this one was protracted and the narration was strangely loud. Every sentence felt like the author used the synonym feature of Word to find the biggest word, I thought it would never end.

Pretty bad plot

Poorly written- very disappointed with the plot and the characters did not come across as compelling!

The Start of a Criminal Madtermind

The novel is basically a heist caper. Olivia Owens plans to get revenge on her father for dumping her and her mother. Things go wrong and Olivia have to think on their feet to stay out of jail or worse. A fun book

Stupid story

I can’t believe I listen to the whining and ridiculous story! I didn’t want to ask for a refund the only reason
What a horrible waste of time

Plot doesn’t hold

Childish drama with a plot that does not hold up at so many levels. Maybe would appeal to a teenager.
