Book Reviews of Tracy Harmon: LV Spclst
Book Review: "What exactly do you want, Miss Popularity?"
Summary: 5 Stars
I am not writing this review from the perspective of a 22 year old college student. I am writing this from the perspective of the 12 year old I was when I first came across "Tracy Harmon: Love Specialist" in my middle school library during lunch. The twelve year old me read the entire book in one sitting, and promptly stole the libraries' copy , which I still have to this day. (The theft was wildly out of character for this Miss Goodie Two-Shoes, as I never even take pencils from work, and I'm still planning to mail the book back to my old school someday. Really.)The cover of my (or King Middle School's) copy says it all: A pretty brunette in a Red Sweater sits at a typewriter while a handsome , clean cut guy watches her with interest. Right away we know we're in for goofy romance.
The story concerns a formally chubby teenager who has lost weight responsibly after trying many crash diets and quick fix cures (The saga of Tracy's weight loss is told in the book's prequel, "The Girl Within". I haven't read it.). Now, at a healthy weight with the proper self-confidence, Tracy is beautiful and wildly popular. All the guys at her school would kill to go out with her, and she can have any one she wants, except Brent Haywood. He's different. New at the school, Brent is aloof to the point of rudeness, and shows a particular dislike for Tracy, for reasons she cannot understand. On the other hand, as one chracter puts it , "he, uh, stares at you a lot" and is forever showing up in Tracy's vicinity, to her annoyance. Thus we begin a decidedly cheesy romance, full of misunderstandings, dark secret pasts (G-Rated of course) and plenty of fun. I adored this book as a young girl; I read it until I had entire sections memorized. If you can get a copy, it will make a great gift for the right day-dreaming girl. As for me, you can be sure when I have kids they will be reading it too. And then I really do have to give it back to the library.
