My only negative with this book was that the ending felt a little rushed. But really the ending did just need to tie up a few loose ends, the main plot of the novel is what makes it great and it more than makes up for the last section. Izzo uses film and historical references in such an original way, it makes the book so much more than a simple story of a woman scorned. Although Izzo’s purpose is clearly to complicate the noir themes she uses, she does it consistently from the perspective of a fan.
For a book working with noir themes (although perhaps more actual noir rather than humour-slash-noir) and a female lead, [[Die A Little by Megan Abbott|Megan Abbott’s Die a Little]] might appeal to fans of the genre. {{amazontext|amazon=1444737716}}{{amazonUStext|amazon=1444737716}}
