Damage Control by Denise Hamilton
3.0
Damage Control is about a woman who works for a PR firm that cleans up after the powerful and wealthy. As the book opens, we get a small peek of her as a teenager and event that will forever change her life.
This was a pretty decent read. The beginning was a bit slow for me and it took me a while to connect with the main character, Maggie. But, she grows on you as her world spirals out of control. The story and the characters kept me engaged and always wondering what would happen next.
One of the criticisms is the amount of time throughout the book that Ms. Hamilton spends describing various perfumes that Maggie wears. I'm not a serious connoisseur of perfumes but Maggie's constant switching seems to be a bit much. It doesn't add much to the story. Yes, the sense of smell is the sense mostly closely connected to memory but I'm not sure what the point of the various perfumes served. Also, Maggies Adderall addiction seemed a bit gratuitous.
Overall, however, this is a good read. I hadn't guessed the twist by the time it was laid out, which is always a plus.
