In the beginning, You Can’t Catch Me, the book, there is a crime. In the end of the book, there is a crime. And in the middle, as guessed, there is another crime. After reading about crime after crime after crime, it is clear that You Can’t Catch Me is a crime on crime book that makes you ask: who is the criminal in this story?
Premise of You Can’t Catch Me
The book starts in an airport with two Jessica Williams. What a coincidence! Right? Not really. One was just fired from her job for committing a controversial act that landed her with a large bank account. The plan is to take a week long tropical vacation and then figure out what to do with her life. But when she gets back to New York, she discovers that someone has wiped her newly stacked bank accounts clean. And she knows exactly who had done it. From this point, the book is about catching the other Jessica from the airport and get the money back. But when she finds the other Jessica, it is clear that getting the money back comes at a price. This is when the lines between criminals gets crossed and it leaves the reader wondering who is the criminal now?
Final Thoughts
I love crime ridden books and You Can’t Catch Me was an entertaining enough book. It was a quick read and had some unique ideas executed nicely with some women on women, same name crime. One thing that could make a book like this difficult to read is that all the characters have the same name. But all the Jessicas were defined enough to make the characters easy to follow. But the same name plot also left me wondering, how real could this be? Could something like this really happen? It cannot be enough to just have the same name to completely rob someone. Lucky for me, I have a very uncommon name.
