Mercedes J. said Stick With It, It Definitely Picks Up. I have read both Ms. Abbott's previous Noir's, 'Die a Little' (which is my absolute favorite), and 'The Song Is You' (also very, very good). I had high hopes for this book, but was somewhat disappointed upon starting it. The first Stick With It, It Definitely Picks Up I have read both Ms. Abbott's previous Noir's, 'Die a Little' (which is my absolute favorite), and 'The Song Is You' (also very, very good). I had high hopes for this book, but was somewhat disappointed upon starting it. The first 30% of the story seemed rushed and disjointed. I didn't feel as though I was getting to know the characters, and people and places jumped around so much it was hard to keep things straight. I almost gave up on it. I'm so glad I didn't.This story is . 0% of the story seemed rushed and disjointed.

Awesome read.. Amazonian said great plots and the writing is terrific. I will read anything by Megan Abbot, but her noir's are off the charts, hard-boiled prose with female protagonists, great plots and the writing is terrific.
