The Helper by M.M. Dewil
3.0
I hadn't heard much about this book or author, but when I saw "perfect for fans of Gone Girl and The Push" plus terms like revenge and satirical social commentary, I was sold.
I think there were some really great ideas in this book. The characters were interesting, the plot was unique, and I always love a woman working on her inner strength. My struggle was with the pacing and wishing some parts were more fleshed out. I wish we knew more background about the villain. The ending could have been more satisfying if it was given more time and detail.
This may be a good fit if you enjoy:
- villains who are easy to hate
- mother-daughter relationships
- a splash of Indian lore and culture
I would truly enjoy seeing a movie based on this story, so it makes sense the author is a screenwriter.
Rating: I liked it! (3)
