Damaged Goods

This is such a complex story (large cast of characters, different points of view, lots of subplots, almost a double story arc) and yet, it works. The characters were memorable and lively and the tensions built perfectly. I was on the edge of my seat for most of it and laughed aloud not a few times. A lot of reviewers are comparing this book to Steel Magnolias and Erin Brockovich. You know what? I like this book better. Jess Brown

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. When I was approached with an ARC, I wasn't sure it was my cup of tea, but after hosting a guest post on the blog tour, I became intrigued. I'm glad I did because this was one awesome tale. The author has a way of drawing you into the story so you feel as if you're a part of all the crazy--and there's lots of crazy in this one! I have to admit that one of my all time favorite characters was Eduardo the beer-drinking emu. You'll have to read it to understand. Sarah Aisling

Brilliant. This book is going to stay with me for ages. Yes, it's hilariously funny. Yes, it's about friendships and girl power. But what really sets this book apart is its heartbreaking environmental message. It is absolutely shocking that this story is based on fact. Andrea (Mrs Aubergine), Goodreads

The epic battle will have the reader cheering and despairing until the surprising end. Many reasons make this novel extraordinary. First of all, the subject matter touches on serious issues which should concern us all. Then, you'll be amazed by the writing style. Alexandra Allred captures her readers' attention with the wonderful pace of her story. Damaged Goods is a page turner if ever there was one.
