Feel this is where the book should have ended

How is this man a Mayor? How was he a Mayor-who-almost-was Criminal but lack all good common sense

Kennedy isn’t for request… she’s not working the ball this year,” Jeffie told him, and he looked pissed. “Fly her ass in… I’m supposed to be this important client. How can you not have one of my regulars here? I don’t want the three you sent to me,” Morgan raised his voice at Jeffie.

And another thing...how have they not gotten caught by now?? They are flagrantly living their lives while doing a covert set-up. It makes no sense. Monaco is a very small area/community with very few Black people. Everyone knows everyone in that space. Why set this portion of the book here? It's adding nothing to the story.

I'm uber confused at this point. This is supposed to be the big finale to a long con and instead of focusing on Morgan and Capri and wrapping that up, I'm reading scenes with the entire family there like this is a vacation. It's like those suburb moments in an Ocean 11 movie where the crew chills together the night before the big heist. Except here all the pieces are in play. So it just stalls the action

Aimee and Capella story line also feels like a drain. I only causally care about them and I'm still trying to figure out why all of this is slowing down the action we should be seeing in Monaco. It's as if everything happens slow/fast. Some story lines are just lagging and taking their sweet time while others are accelerated but those accelerated plot points are interjected into the main plot

It feels like a lot if extra story lines and the main plot feels a little bloated. Core and Skylar is still creepy and the way both Skylar and Jeffie are not into poly but keep getting talked into considering the lifestyle feels icky.
