This is the perfect book to read on a flight. The characters are engaging, and once I picked it up, I didn't want to put it down. After reading this book, you will never look at a salesman the same way again!

This book was so funny! I agree, I couldn't put it down (and I had a lot of other things I should have been doing!). I think the special strength of this book is how Rivoli makes Diana grow almost imperceptibly through her interactions with all these characters she does her demos for. As zany as this book is, the storytelling is firmly realistic.

Bridget Jones meets the Avon lady!! Diana's adventures selling vacuums are sometimes funny, sometimes heartwarming... always entertaining.
The crazy cast of characters and Diana's many predicaments make this book easy to get through. Though when you're done you'll wonder what Diana is up to next.

When I say I couldn't put this book down, I mean I literally read until my book light battery went dead.

Rarely do I stumble onto a book I enjoy to this extent. It is an intriguing story delivered by a gifted storyteller, with characters I could immediately see and conversations I could clearly hear as I read along.

I highly recommended this book to anyone who enjoys a fast-paced, funny read.
