Her new career is everything she’s never dreamed of…
MSadvised – Caprice Bello is broke, living in her grandparent’s basement, and in need of a new career. When a friend offers to help her land a job selling pharmaceuticals she’s reluctant, but then caves. After all, the pay is decent, the company car is free, and doctors are the nice guys. Besides, how hard could it be? Turns out, plenty.
MSbeliefs – After completing a crash course in pharma sales, Caprice hits the field determined to earn a top award and luxury trip to Australia. Too bad she’s unprepared for mean doctors and even meaner coworkers. Add to that Caprice’s unrequited crush on an irresistible colleague, and suddenly her easy job is anything but.
MSadventures – Before long, Caprice experiences a series of unexpected snafus that cause her once rising sales to tank. Not only is her goal of winning the top award and trip waylaid, but her new career is in real jeopardy. Desperate, Caprice gambles on a risky strategy that will result in either glorious victory or spectacular defeat.
Caprice has just broke up with her boyfriend, lost her home and her job. Luckily, her best-friend Nick offers to let her move in with him and she gets a job working with him at DOT Pharmaceuticals, a company selling Amarect, a pill for men with erectile disfunction.
Right from the start of her work at DOT, Caprice is impressed with the company style. There are regular meetings, she visits doctors as their customers and there is also a big convention in Las Vegas to attend, plus travelling all around the US.
Selling Amarect suits Caprice and she aims high: she wants to win the intern selling challenge with a trip to Australia as a reward.
Then there is her co-worker Scudder. Caprice has a crush on him since the first moment she laid eyes on him. Unfortunately, he has a girlfriend who is also working for DOT and the daughter of the DOT-testimonial, Dr. Foxx. Tori Foxx is aware of Caprice’s crush on Scudder and she is trying everything to make her suffer. Caprice has found her nemesis, but she isn’t one to give up.
Now, this book is a hit! I absolutely loved reading it. It has been an utter delight. The witty writing, the funny names of each chapter and the most amazing plot. I enjoyed every minute whilst reading it. The main character Caprice is lovable and laughable. Her thoughts and comments are hilarious, and so is the character of her best friend Nick.
Watching Caprice doing her job and catching a glimpse of the probable life as a pharma rep selling a pill for men with erectile disfunction is as funny and entertaining as it is original.
I can wholeheartedly recommend reading this book. If you need a proper laugh and an engaging and entertaining story, this is the book to choose. I hope to find another book from the talented Olivia Arquette soon.
