This half book is the definition of filler. I picked up Veronica Ruiz Breaks the Bank by Elle Cosimano hoping to learn more about Vero and better tolerate her. Friends, this was not it. I’m not sure it really added anything to the series and definitely didn’t make Vero any more likeable. In fact, all it did was showcase just how much of a chaos magnet she is. Proving she didn’t take the money would’ve been so simple using a forensic accountant and halfway decent investigating. But instead of sticking around to investigate who stole the money, she leaves, takes on a fake identity, lies to her family, then takes a random job where she investigates who is stealing money there instead? Like, girl, be so serious. The positive is that this was a quick read but it honestly didn’t give me any background information needed for any other character in the series. I would absolutely recommend skipping this and simply going on to the next in the Finlay Donovan series.
