this was fun! classic heist, Lesbian Edition, as unapologetically tropey as they come. there were definitely parts that could've used some work - the worldbuilding was pretty bare-bones, and the romance lacked the development that would've made the ending feel fully earned and satisfying (the ending overall

went a little too hard on the cutesy found-family happily-ever-after in a way that just felt forced

), but i can't deny that as a heist enthusiast i had a pretty good time. in any case, main takeaway: more butches in scifi NOW!!!!!!!!!!
