Self-Help 101 or: How I Learned to Take Over the World Through Tolerating My Family by L.G. Keltner

5.0

Wow! I did not expect to enjoy this short book as much as I did. Funny, informative, and heartwarming. How did the author pack so much emotion into this?
As a fantasy writer, I found actual useful tips for my main characters. Generally, a book with how-to instructions is straightforward and dull. This creatively weaves a list in with a story of family and romance at Christmas time.
I’d recommend it to teens, young adults, writers, and lovers of humor and romance. The title, by the way, is a result of the book the main character is writing. Keep an eye on Keltner because this is an author with serious potential.
