How to Kill a Guy in Ten Ways by Eve Kellman
4.0
It's not often that books about serial killers make you laugh, but How to Kill a Guy in Ten Ways had an element of comedy in it that created a unique balance that I liked a lot.
Millie is our main character in this story, and she lives in Bristol working at a picture frame shop. We know from the start that something bad has happened to her younger sister Katie, causing her to stop eating, quit university, and lie in bed all day. Millie also runs a bad-date-rescue service on the weekends called Message M. Guy creeping you out, stalking you, not respecting your 'no'? Message M and she'll come pick you up.
The way this book is written is such that Millie is narrating, and often times done so such that she is speaking to the reader, breaking that wall. I don't find this too often, so I appreciated the approach. The dry British humor is what made this book fun for me.
This was a page turner once I got into it. I didn't know how the story was going to end up, though I knew it must be setting up for a glorious bang at the end. It did not disappoint.
Thank you to the publisher, author, and NetGalley for the chance to read an advance copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. I will definitely check out Eve Kellman's next book!
