Sweet memories11/19/2023 The answer to this woman's "problems" was so obvious that it was like the characters were all avoiding the 500-lb. I usually enjoy LaVyrle Spencer books, but this one was the pits. Luckily, I've read several books by this author and know this is not her usual writing. I can't believe the same author who wrote the classic MORNING GLORY wrote this drivel. The way she went on and on about her problems, I thought they were dragging on the ground. We don't find out till the middle of the book that she is a 34DD. She whines constantly about the size of her breasts. The heroine actually contemplates staying in her room for two weeks while Bryan is visiting. This has to be one of the dumbest stories I've ever read. She is attracted to Bryan, but doesn't know if she can actually act on her attraction. He's been warned by her brother and his eyes do not slide below her chin. When her brother brings a friend home from the Air Force on Christmas break, she is reluctant to meet him since all men just stare at her chest. She is hung up on the fact that she is well-endowed, believing her "devastatingly enormous breasts" are ruining her life. Theresa Brubaker is a 25-year-old woman who hates her body, hair, and skin. Oh, and any book that has the phrase "virgin flesh" in it is bound to be crap. And LaVyrle Spencer's writing is at it's MOST melodramatic and treacly in this book I had some food reflux problems. I could understand why Theresa had some social anxiety problems and was self-conscious but her character was so poorly drawn and so whiny you don't sympathize with her at all. Then they make up and he invites her to go swimming at his apartment where they have tender and romantic pre-marital sex after which he proposes. Brian gets out of the military and moves to Minnesota to live near Theresa and but ends up bitter when he sees her new small breasts in a cute top. Then Theresa has the surgery and doesn't tell Brian even though they're all in love. Theresa never thought it was an option because her mean mom told her to just buck up and deal with her hooters. There's a lot of annoying whining by Theresa, then some nauseating love letters between Theresa and Brian, and then Theresa meets with the school counselor who suggests that she consider breast reduction surgery. Can their relationship ever move to another level? Oh no! What will happen? Well, I'll tell you so you won't have to read it. Theresa falls in love with Brian over the Christmas and New Years holidays but she won't let him touch her breasts because of her body hang-ups and because some nasty dudes sexually harassed her in school. Brian has been secretly fixated on Theresa for awhile but she doesn't know it. One day Theresa's brother brings home fellow band member and pal, Brian Scanlon. She's always been shy around new people and especially new men since they tend to gawk at her teeny frame and huge knockers (the author repeatedly mentions Theresa's teeny frame so you don't forget it). Condensed versions of many of her novels have appeared in Reader's Digest and Good Housekeeping.Ī big-tittied-girl named Theresa still lives with her parents even though she's 25. Her books have been sold to book clubs worldwide, and have been published around the world. In the 1980s and 1990s Spencer wrote 12 New York Times Bestsellers. The stories center on themes of abiding love, family ties and strength in difficult times. Her heroines tend to be a mix of fire and warmth, strength, savvy and soft–heartedness who must overcome some sort of adversity, such as pregnancy, divorce, a lengthy separation, the loss of a loved one, and then undergo a catharsis. These "ordinary" men and women are warm and vulnerable and are always portrayed sympathetically. Spencer is known for creating realistic characters and stories that focus on families rather than only the relationship between a man and woman. Twelve of her books have been New York Times bestsellers, and Spencer was inducted into the Romance Writers of America Hall of Fame in 1988. She has successfully published a number of books, with several of them made into movies. LaVyrle Spencer is an American best-selling author of contemporary and historical romance novels.
