Critics Review
‘The character of Germaine, endearing but far from cutesy, is the great triumph of this accomplished debut.’
‘The character of Germaine, endearing but far from cutesy, is the great triumph of this accomplished debut.’ * Sydney Morning Herald *
‘Witty and unexpectedly charming, The Helpline is genuinely hilarious.’ * Overland *
‘The Helpline is populated with prickly women who are often terse or unkind to the people around them. And it’s wonderful.’ * Broadsheet *
‘Delightful…a warm and heart-warming tale of biscuits, mayors, bureaucracy, round pegs in square holes, golf, serial pests, sudoku, incomprehensible formulas, Red Emperors and infrastructure. This is a light-hearted, laugh-out-loud kind of rom com, which I can highly recommend as the perfect reading in these iso times.’ * Cass Moriarty *
‘A fun read, full of unique characters.’ * Daily Mail *
‘Clever writing about an awkward character.’ * Kirkus Reviews *
