Customer Reviews

It's Got Style, It's Got Laughter ... It's Got It All

This book kept me laughing, yet also provided enough tension (as well as a bit of a mystery) to keep me turning the pages to find out how it all panned out for the often beset, often bewildered, but always oh so believable main character, Jeanie. I love Becky Motew's style. There are some genuine laugh out loud moments in this book, and Jeanie is thoroughly likeable. Okay I admit it - I am a sucker for down to earth, slightly cynical main characters I can relate to - especially if they can make me laugh - that's why I really, really recommend this book. I loved it.

Quick, Funny Read

Becky Motew writes up a comic storm. Laugh out loud with some of the funniest characters I've ever met. Phillis Diller meets Mark Twain.

A must-read

Coupon Girl is laugh-out-loud funny and a page turner to boot. The author deftly weaves many plot threads into a wonderful comic tapestry that pulls together beautifully in a hilarious finale. I can't wait for Ms. Motew's next book.

Humour, conflict, warmth and sassy wit.

The 36-year-old protagonist's face looked back at her-beaky little nose, wild hair and all. Her driver's license says her hair is brown and it is, sometimes the brown of a picnic basket, other times of fairly dark butterscotch. In days of yore she would have been called an old maid. An old maid and then some. She sells coupons. She's in competition with a lying, scheming, account-stealing b**ch. What's her plan? She's trying out for The Sound of Music. On Broadway? Of course not. The Worcester Spotlighters. Will the participation help any? Well, ya never know. Becky Motew's COUPON GIRL is the best performance of amateur theatre ever performed in a book. With a wonderful,colourful cast of characters, COUPON GIRL bubbles over with humour, conflict, warmth and sassy wit.

Laugh aloud wit

Jeanie's going to win the sales reps' contest and sell more coupons than any of her competitors even if it's the last thing she does. And it probably will be. But she could really do with the cash because her car's about to die on her. By the time she's seen three hot prospect clients reincarcerated, joined a community theatre project in the hope of making some sales to co-performers, and acquired two unwanted pets, she's under no illusions about hard this will be. And that's even before the sprinklers open on the ballroom scene in The Sound of Music in a finale that will see old scores settled. What a great read.
