Tracy’s the new girl in the office.
A sassy nineteen year old with an eye for cloned fashion and an ear for the latest gossip. She reveals all in a series of emails written to her friend, Emma.
Tracy doesn’t spare anyone’s blushes as she dishes the dirt on friends, family, and foes. If something is worth hearing, it is worth telling. Everyone gets the Tracy Treatment, her benefit-fiddling father, her porn obsessed boyfriend, even her pocket billiards champion boss. Not forgetting the office’s serial bum pincher and his latest conquest, the office tart.
Behind Tracy’s wide eyed innocence and reassuring smile lies a muck spreader of the highest calibre.
No secret is safe.

Tracy’s Hot Mail Review:
“Tracy’s Hot Mail” is a delightful read because of the main character and her quirky experiences in the office.
I liked the epistolary style in which the author tells the story, as we discover what Tracy goes through with her letters to Emma. Tracy seems like someone I could easily befriend, and I loved her snarky sense of humor.
Even the supporting characters are fun. I enjoyed reading about Olivia’s turbulent office affair with Mr. Blunt and Tracy’s run-ins with Martine and found myself laughing out loud when Tracy gets Kiwi as her new roommate. The author has a beautiful style for writing comedy, and reading this book lightened my mood.
Moreover, some exciting moments stand out, like what Tracy experiences with the trick-or-treaters at Halloween or the shenanigans at the Christmas party. The story never feels dull because even if there are chapters where nothing much happens, I still enjoy reading about what Tracy went through.
Perhaps the only criticism I have of the story is the book took a good two to three chapters for me to get the hang of what’s happening. The author introduces all the characters at once, and I had to recollect who was what. From the first page, we jump into Tracy’s life, where she interacts with all her colleagues, friends, and family, and I wondered what was happening.
However, I thoroughly enjoyed the plot once I got used to it. Overall, “Tracy’s Hot Mail” is a fun, exciting start to the series, and I would love to see how it continues.
