Non fiction books are not my cup of tea but the review is very enthusiastic. The book sounds really inspiring showing that persistence and determination could do a lot of things, you only need to "want" it. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

Great review! I read a sample of this book and instantly felt sorry for Nico. It didn't seem that she deserved any of the bad things that were happening in her life and then the industry that helped her also brought her unexpectedly into someone else's troubles. I certainly hope that there are more good times than bad for her in this book.

Good review. Nico's life appears interesting, but because I don't particularly appreciate non-fiction, this book is not for me.

Great review! I've got a huge soft spot for women who are forced to rebuild their life from nothing. Nico sounds like an amazing heroine, and I'd love to read more about her adventures! Congrats on BOTD.

Nico sounds like she is representing all of us navigating through life. All you can do is the best you can and be there for others in their bad times, in hope that they will be there for yours. I can only imagine what kind of stories real estate agents have after interacting with so many strangers, having to potentially enduring difficult situations and interactions, all in the hopes of making a sale. Thank you for a great review!

This seems like an inspirational book about a woman who faces all sorts of adversity. She is an admirable protagonist that displays the perseverance to move beyond her troubles and build a successful life for herself. Realtors would especially enjoy it because they could relate to her stories. Nicely written!

The group of ladies described at the beginning of the book remind me of high school girls (but in a good day). I can only imagine what these ladies went through selling real estate. While this book is not my cup of tea, I appreciated your review!

I can't wait to read this book! I just finished a book of humorous short stories, and I am ready for another one. I read a bit of the sample online, and enjoyed it immensely. I like a story of someone successfully conquering life, rising from the ashes and laughing all the way. Congrats to the author on BOTD.

The story in this book, "Pandora's Lockbox" by Nico Griffith, seems to stem from the wealth of knowledge of Nico, a real estate agent, who has seen the thicks and thins of the real estate business. Interesting read.

I enjoy a good book where the protagonist overcomes hardships. Nico had her share of difficulties, but she was able to rise above it all. It sounds like an encouraging story. Thanks for the great review!

I think it's good when someone writes a book talking about their life stories, because some of the readers can relate. I think this is a good book for people who like to read memoirs.
