Best of Bookstagram: THE GIRLS I’VE BEEN

The Girls I’ve Been by Tess Sharpe follows Nora O’Malley’s, who has been a lot of girls. As the daughter of a con-artist who targets criminal men, she grew up as her mother’s protégé. But when her mom fell for the mark instead of conning him, Nora pulled the ultimate con: escape. For five years Nora’s been playing at normal…until she finds herself taken hostage during a bank robbery.

We challenged bookstagram and booktok to show off their best Nora O’Malley disguise, and here are some of our favorites!

 

Kicking us off, @theliteraryheroine has this disguise down to an ART.

 

The settings! The costumes! This feels like a whole movie.

 

We love a #BookFaceFriday!

@a.rae.of.books is ROCKING the black wig.

 

Excuse us while we add this outfit to our shopping cart…
