Coupon Girl

From Booklist Welcome to the not so glamorous but often hilarious worlds of mail-order marketing and community theater. Jeannie is a LotsaCoups saleswoman moonlighting as a nun in the town production of The Sound of Music. Her ulterior motive is to reel in her fellow cast mates and win the company sales contest, but instead she gains a new circle of friends and a new perspective on life. Motew writes about everyday life: work, family, relationships. What makes it fun are the bizarre situations Motew throws in Jeannie's path. Take the pizza chain run by a group of ex-cons who become Jeannie's biggest customers. Or her ill-fated romance with the play's director, who asks her to read his poetry during a romantic moment. Fans of traditional romance novels might be disappointed that Jeannie doesn't find love, but there's plenty to love about this quirky novel.

Oh yes, if you're a business owner and would like to offer your customers coupons, leave me a message. BEEP "Hey, Jeanie. I can't give 25% off my donuts, so just forget it." BEEP "Hi, it’s Meg—your soon-to-be-pregnant best friend. Call me!" BEEP "Just wanted to let you know that the fire department was over to get your grandfather down from the roof. Don’t worry, he’s okay." BEEP "My name Mike. You call." BEEP Did you ever wish you could redeem your current life for a completely new one? Believe me, I’m right there with you. And if I've learned anything from selling coupons, it's this: 10% off won't cut it. You have to go big. Large. Whole hog. I say it to my customers every day. I just never knew taking my own advice would prove so difficult. …
