Tracy's Hot Mail
by
T.A. Belshaw (Goodreads Author)
In a series of gossipy emails, Tracy dishes the dirt on her friends and colleagues. From her benefit-fiddling father, her porn obsessed boyfriend, even her pocket billiards champion, boss. Then of course, there’s Mr Blunt, a serial arse grabber, and not forgetting Olivia, the office tart. Behind Tracy's wide eyed innocence and reassuring smile, lies a muck-spreader of the...more

Tracy is a new addition to the office. At Nineteen, she is a girl about town who knows it all, or so she thinks. Like most people these days, she's addicted to Facebook, MSN and other Social Media, but when she's told that she can't access these at work, she resorts to keep her best friend abreast of events via a series of e-mails.
Everyone falls under the ever watchful eye of Tracy, as she puts her own unique spin on the people that surround her, both at work and at home.

Tracy has a new office job, but she's not about to allow that minor annoyance to interfere with important stuff like emailing her best friend, Emma. And there's plenty to gossip about. For a start there're her three bosses: Mr Tugger - who's forever playing with something in his pocket, Mr Winkle - a happy soul with a lisp and a funny walk, and the serial backside-slapper, Mr Blunt.
Others at the sharp end of Tracy's keyboard are Olivia - the office tart, Ms Broadbeam, Spotty Irene and Tommy Tigh...more

Tracy’s Hot Mail by T A Belshaw
This is the funniest book I have read for quite a while. I really loved the scatty, clueless Tracey as she reveals all to her friend, Emma. The humour drips off the page as Tracey unloads the events of her life in a continuous droll fashion-even though she wouldn’t have a clue what droll is! Almost the first sentence says it all “Just sending a quick mail to let you know how I’m getting on at my new job.” A quick email isn’t in Tracey’s repertoire. T A Belshaw keep...more

I read it in one go, my mouth continually upturning as Tracey's diary, full of innuendos, unfolded.
A pseudo-innocent account - of first job, first home, first driving lessons, written in racey style -which never slows down until she is replaced by a dumb terminal.
You have to be in the right mood - or to want to be put into the right mood - to appreciate this book to the full.

First up, let me say, Trevor writes like a girl! It's a compliment, honest. In fact, it's slightly worrying how well he channels the voice of a twenty-something girl, but I think that's a whole other blog post.
Seriously, Trevor manages to bring Tracy to life through his witty choice of words and laugh-out-loud scenarios. Each character is so perfectly created, they practically jump off the page (or screen) and Tracy is as likable as characters come, even with her many flaws. I'm tempted to lik...more

Giggling away, as I read this book, it felt like an up to date e-version of a carry-on film. Lots of subtle and not so subtle humour woven into the life of a ladette. I could hear Tracy's voice in my head and 'see' her practicing getting in and out of the car for her driving instructor. I'm not surprised she's soon to be a celebrity.
The funniest book I've read in a long long while... wilder, wittier and a hell of a lot naughtier than Bridget Jones..Tracy's Hot Mail is a rollicking laugh- a -minute romp that will rattle your funny bone and tickle your fancy from beginning to end. Warning: don't read in a public place.. you'll only regret it!
Tracy is a very likeable character, who provides many laughs through her narrative. I am hoping to read much more from her in the future. The author writes in email format throughout, which makes it easy to read. Good fun.
Not a bad quick read, some laugh out loud moments but also some cheesy moments. If this book was any longer then Tracy would have started to irritate me.
A laugh riot from page one. Does for the electronic world what Bridget Jones did for the paperback.
