Madison Lee is a fresh college grad, ready to take on the world of print media. But she has zero luck landing a job. Unemployment is at ten percent and on the rise. Desperate and left with no other options, she accepts a position as a service rep at a call center in Pocatello, Idaho. At the Lightning Speed call center in Spudsville, Maddy plunges into the wild and dysfunctional world of customer service where Sales is prided over Service and an eight hour shift is equivalent to eight hours of callers bashing her over the phone. Oh sure, the calls are bad. But Maddy manages to find humor on the phone and off the phone. And with all the salacious drama behind the calls, there is never a dull moment at the Lightning Speed call center.
Lately . . . Maddy has been pining for her smolderingly gorgeous co-worker Mika Harket. Now things are heating up on the phone–and elsewhere. Don’t hang up on this novel. Working at a call center has never been this garish . . . or this delightful.

I want to win this book (either print or Ebook) because in a few months I could end up being a grad school graduate facing unemployment. This sounds like a fun spin on it.
How fun and contemporary. Paperback, please.

I’ve never had to work in a call-centre, but who knows? I’m still young and the economy is terrible, and i may one day be in Madison’s shoes. I should probably read it to prepare myself!
Paperback preferred!
I would love to read this book, simply because I love to read new books!! Specifically chick-lit š Paperback preferred, as I have yet to get an e-reader! (one day, i hope!!)
This sounds like a good fun read. I hope I get the chance to read this one!
Paperback preferred
I would love to win because I love chick lit and have actually heard great things about this book!
Oh how I would love to read this… I am a brand new college grad, and can totally relate!
I’d love to win the paperback! Thank you for the chance!

I want to win because it sounds like a great book! I would prefer the paperback.
So would love to win!!!
I would love either paperback or ebook for my sony ereader! š
I would love to win this book. I was unemployed for a bit so I can relate. I also need a new book to read.
I would love to win either the paperback or the ebook as I’m still on the wait list for this one at the library!
This sounds like another fun book to read! Love these kind of books, getting into something that isn’t my normal life is fun! Ebook would be great!
This looks like such a fun read! Thank you for the chance at winning a copy. I’d love to get my hands on the paperback, please š

This sounds like a fun book! Ebook is preferred. š
I would love either copy of the book. I know so many people who have worked at call centers and the book sounds like a great read.
Seems like a fun read!! Would love to have a copy to read and share with my college age daughters!!!
Sounds like a fun summer time read. Paperback preferred.
The book sounds like a neat read. I’ve never read anything by this author and I’d like to give her a try. Paperback or e-book — I have no preference. I have a Nook and I also read hardcopies. Thanks for sharing!
I’d like to read this because I’ve spent time working in a call center, and it’s often hard to see the humor while you’re actually working there!
I’d be grateful for either paperback or ebook.

Maybe if I read this, I’ll be nicer to the call center people?
Thanks for the chance.
Love e books
I would love either if the ebook would work with my sony ereader!!! š
I spent one summer working in a call center for a manufacturer of plastic wrap and bags. Received some VERY interesting phone calls, including one asking if the product could be used in lieu of a condom! Needless to say, that was NOT a recommended use of the product…..
Paperback please
I would love to win this book. I worked many years in a call center and could totally relate to this. You have to find humor in that kind of job otherwise you would go insane! Plus I used to live in Idaho and I actually know where Pocatello is and I’ve been there š It is a beautiful state!
I was in the world of marketing for 25 years and always said I would starve to death before I would work in a call center. I’m interested to read about how things really are in such a setting. Plus I am always a sucker for a paperback love story.
I recently divorced and had to take on a 2nd part time job (in a call center!!) to make ends meet. Would love to read a lighthearted view of my new life!! š

This book sounds really good, and I would be over the moon if I won. I would like paperback please.
I would love to win as I work in a call center. Paperback please.
My two daughters and son in law work in call centres. Would be great if I could win a copy for one of them. I would prefer a paperback copy as I do not own an ereader. Thanks
I Have just finished this book and it is worth a read. If any of you enjoy the shopaholic series you will like this book as it has similar humour xx
This book sounds like a great one to read in the bath with a moud of bubbles and a glass of rose wine. Real escapism from being a working mother! xxx
I love finding new authors to read and this book sounds like a lot of fun! Either format is ok with me. Thanks for the giveaway!
Sam you know my preference is hard copy. E-book is a second choice. I have seen this book offered before but only in e-book format.
I have worked in a customer care for more than 15 year, now I am a manager of a Call Center – this book surely is a must read for me!
I already have the Kindle version and enjoyed it very much, so I’d love to own this on paperback too. Many thanks!
Sounds like a good book and I’m heading to Hawaii on the 7th and need beach reads! E-book, please!
I’d love an e-book! As a full time Special Ed teacher and mom, the only time I have to lose myself in a good book is over the summer. My Kindle is my best friend these days, and this book sounds like a great summer read!
I’d love to win this in paperback format.

I would take either, probably preferably in paper…
I would love to win since I’ve worked in many call centres. So I am sure I can relate!
Oh this is on my list of books to read this summer. I’d prefer paperback but could also have the e book. I just got an e reader. Thanks so much!

I would love to read this sounds like so much fun. EBook please!! Have a great day
i want to win because this looks like a great beach read
I would love to have this to read at camp this summer. I just got back into reading and this would be great to start with!(paper back preferred)
I love to read and this book sounds like it would be funny and interesting, just my type of book.
I would like the paperback. Don’t have an e reader yet.
Thank you for the giveaway
I would love to read this book (paperback please). I’ve been there, coming out of university thinking an amazing job will fall in your lap, but spending months looks for something good and then settling for something way less than good. I always look for a fun book, especially something I can relate too and this sounds like it. Thanks for the opportunity to enter this contest.
I think this book would be a great read. And I LOVE a great read! Hope I win!
Oh, I forgot–I would like to have it in paperback. Thanks!
I’m trying to imagine a call center in Pocatello – almost my neck of the woods – about 4hrs away. It sounds like a fun read based on a very familiar-for-many story of recession woes and relocation. E-copy please.
Sounds like a fun read…perfect for the pool! Paperback please!
