How Can I Help You by Laura Sims

dark funny mysterious medium-paced

4.0

This little book didn’t half pack a punch. It was utterly bonkers but in a good way. I couldn’t put it down.

I really enjoyed the secret world of a librarian and how never to assume a person is meek and mild. Margot/Jane was anything but! I actually loved her for it although I will never return a library book late again. 

The dual narrative works to enhance the story and I enjoyed hearing Patricia’s perspective. 

A fun novel that was nothing like I expected!
