"Heart of Junk might just be the most fun I’ve ever had with kidnapping and sleazy salespeople. Set in a failing antique mall in Kansas, Luke Geddes’ debut novel follows a fantastically colorful cast of characters, each with their own emotional – and literal – baggage: Neurotic Delores is out for every Barbie ever made (she enjoys holding conversations with each one in her sizable collection), and Ronald, a recent widower, is the resident deltiologist (that’s postcard collector for us laypeople). Follow along as they work to save the mall and find a missing local celebrity. It’s a story full of heart, packed with wit and, yes, overflowing with (lovable) junk."
