Review: Don’t Get Caught by Kurt Dinan
SYNOPSIS:
10:00 tonight at the water tower. Tell no one. -Chaos Club
When Max receives a mysterious invite from the untraceable, epic prank-pulling Chaos Club, he has to ask: why him? After all, he’s Mr. 2.5 GPA, Mr. No Social Life. He’s Just Max. And his favorite heist movies have taught him this situation calls for Rule #4: Be suspicious. But it’s also his one shot to leave Just Max in the dust…
Yeah, not so much. Max and four fellow students-who also received invites-are standing on the newly defaced water tower when campus security “catches” them. Definitely a setup. And this time, Max has had enough. It’s time for Rule #7: Always get payback.
Let the prank war begin.
REVIEW:
*Book Received in Exchange for Honest Opinion/Review*
This book was the perfect fun and light read I was hoping it would be. I was in the mood for something playful with minor romance and when I read the description and saw pranks…my mind immediately went to Ocean’s 11. I love these heist movies and this was just like that except at the high school level. I honestly hope there is a sequel down the road because there was a major plot twist at the ending and I would love to see how that plays out in a second book.
The story itself was delightful and had me smiling and laughing, I couldn’t put the book down. It was a quick, fast read with an action packed plot that I couldn’t help but turn the page to see what would happen next. The endless pranks, the rag-tag team of misfits who eventually find themselves and form friendships had my heart feeling all kinds of giddy.
Max is adorable, awkward and I couldn’t help but silently cheer him on. The Chaos Club is amazing, and I wish something of this epic-proportions existed when I was in high school. I honestly can’t sum this book up any more then its the perfect read if you want something that will leave you light-hearted and happy. I mean I am still smiling as I type this review.
