The concept of the film was so intriguing, I decided to watch it. This isn't a movie I'd typically watch, I have a strong aversion to films with a slight romantic angle. The music was all good, of course, and Himesh Patel was genuinely amusing throughout. The look of bewilderment on his face made me laugh, every time.
The romantic portion was a little lazy, but I wasn't expecting the wheel to be reinvented.
I did have a huge issue with the ever-obnoxious, unfunny, Kate McKinnon. She was the worst part of the entire film, and there would have been nothing lost without her irritating, badly-acted character.

The frustration I feel from watching this film is steaming off of me. This film is basically Parent Trap but with actual twins and far less talented ones at that. Lindsey Lohan was able to play an American and a British version of herself for the Parent Trap and blew Mary-Kate and Ashley out of the park - literal twins. This film was predictable from the beginning and it was kind of frustrating. It seems like the off-brand you buy at the store because name brands are too expensive and not always worth it. In this case, I'd take the name brand any day.

From the outside, the Rabb family looks like the perfect family. They live in an amazing house, drive nice cars, their oldest daughter is a research assistant at the local University, their son get great grades, and the youngest is a ranked squash player. Benjamin Rabb is a gold dealer, and for the past twenty years has been doing very well for his family. When Benjamin Rabb is investigated by the FBI for money laundering, fraud, and conspiracy with known drug dealers, his family is placed in the Witness Protection Program. All, except Kate, who is old enough to do her own thing. When Kate makes some interesting discoveries and strange things start to happen, she may find that her perfect family may not be just so.

This is the first solo authored book I have read by Andrew Gross. I am pleased to say that this book had me on the edge of my seat from the very beginning to the very end. So many different surprises and twists in this book. The book centers around Kate rabb and her life after her father has testified in court against the Mercado Family and her family has been in Witness Protection for more than a year. The thing I really like about this book is that I never knew what was going to happen next or who I could trust. Everytime you turn around, another something falls in your face that makes you yell expletives at the book. Not knowing who to believe and where to turn for help, makes a person feel lost. Kate's determination to find the truth and get her family back together, has her in the fight of her life, in more ways than one.

I listened to the audio of this book and it was read by Ilyana Kadushin. She gave an excellent performance and made me feel as if I was a part of the action. I could see the action as it played out. I can't wait to read other solo authored books by Andrew Gross. Another great author to add to my every growing list of favorites.
