Review: The Twelve Lives of Samuel Hawley

The Twelve Lives of Samuel Hawley The Twelve Lives of Samuel Hawley by Hannah Tinti
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book was really enjoyable to read. It was about a girl and her father, and alternated chapters between their current life, and the father's life in the past. The father had been involved in many illegal heists and scams/schemes, yet made a reasonably normal life for his daughter. (OK, to be fair, it wasn't "normal" or "stable" in that they moved often, and quickly, and there was a strange shrine to the girl's mother kept in the bathroom of whatever their current home was, but compared to his past, it was as good as he could do.) I really liked both the father and the daughter, and am still not quite sure which was the protagonist. Well-written, great character development, and surprising plot.
