A heat wave in Manhattan is enough to drive a girl crazy, and for Tracey Spadolini, a 24-year-old New York transplant who's been "left behind" for the summer, there's even more to sweat about. Her Slightly Significant Other, Will, will be returning from summer stock in September, to pick up where they left off. (Or will he?)But, in the days after Will's departure, Tracey decides it's time for a reality check. Her un-air-conditioned East Village apartment is a dump, her entry-level ad job sucks, her thighs don't seem to be getting any thinner, and Will seems to have dropped off the face of the earth. So, Tracey, with the help of her friends and one very attentive guy, decides to spend her summer reinventing herself. . . and taking a chance on liking the new woman she becomes.

Good summer read! I started reading this as my “at work” book, meaning I'll read it at work and read something else when I'm home. But I quickly got into the story and in Tracey's head. I loved her transformation from the beginning of the book to the end. At first she's overweight, unhappy with her herself, with her relationship (is in self denial about it and therefore comfort eats), with her job, just unhappy in general. But when Will leaves, she's forced to confront her demons. She makes a list of what she wants to do while he's gone and I'm proud of her that she does them all! By the end of the book, she's still unsure and still insecure, but she knows she going to get past it and be ok. I can tell she's happier with herself and more confident. I hope to see more of that in the next book. And I hope Will makes a reappearance and Tracey can tell him once and for all to screw himself!
