booktails 's review for:
Lost Property
by Helen Paris
Dot used to think she had her life planned out, she was going to do anything she wanted, but as a grown up life hasn't worked out at all as she thought. Now she works at the Lost Property Office, taking as much loving care of all the items as if they were her own. She knows the value of something that has been lost and puts all her effort into looking after them and trying to reunite them with their owners.
It's so lovely how Dot describes all the items and imagines who each one could belong to. I liked Dot and was really rooting for her to do something and stand up for herself rather than just put up with some really awful colleagues and her bossy and annoying older sister.
The book was a pleasant read and the narrator had the perfect voice for Dot. It didn't really grip me though and I found some of the revelations a bit unconvincing.
