How Can I Help You by Laura Sims
5.0
How Can I Help You is a uniquely riveting novel following two employees of a library as they gravitate toward one another.
Margo, who isn’t really Margo, has been working at this library for a bit now. She’s settled on a routine, a personality, a meaning for her life now that she has started all over. She relishes her role at the library and views herself as an integral part of the team.
Until failed novelist Patricia joins the team.
Patricia fixates rather quickly on Margo and from there all of Margo’s little secrets are unraveled.
While this book doesn’t share a premise with The Maid by Nita Prose the voice and tone of writing are so similar that I’d recommend this book to fans of The Maid based on that alone. It’s fun, fast paced, and just a little whimsical in a way that also reminds me of You by Caroline Kepnes.
Margo is a mish-mash of Molly and Joe except in this case she has her own stalker named Patricia.
The stakes are low, the entertainment is high, and with a surprising amount of coziness to this novel I think it would be a terrific book to pickup on a cold day. Highly recommend!
