This was probably the first time I really got SMG's writing. I'd read one of her books and novellas before, but neither of them really stuck out to me as anything great up until now. I think there was something about the film noir aspect and unconventional dual povs that really made it. I love when two characters are entirely different from one another but just...work? Like, Maite is this very plain and boring secretary who reads romance books and Elvis is this young ruffian working in a gang who kills people. It's a little funny lol

(view spoiler)[Also, I think the religious aspect was hilarious. Elvis literally beats up and kills people for a job but won't hurt a priest himself because he doesn't want to go to Hell? Lmao. (hide spoiler)]
