Rendition As Books A Field Guide for Heartbreakers

Best friends Dessy and Veronica arrive in Europe with wildly different plans. Dessy hopes to heal her newly broken heart by diving into the creative writing workshop that brought the girls to Prague. Veronica’s plan, meanwhile, is to conquer as many hot-dudes as possible in one month—and help Dessy recycle her heart in the process. Her method:

· Dress like you are the party.

· Explore the terrain. (Moderate stalking is totally allowed.)

· Be adventurous. And that means being prepared to hide in your suitcase.

· Ask questions that make your hot-dude feel smart.

· Gloss early, gloss often, and bring gum. Because a kiss can happen when you least expect it!

At first, Veronica’s plan is working so well that Dessy thinks she might be a love genius. But soon it’s clear that Operation Maneater has a few holes. Like its failure to anticipate crazy mixed signals—and worse, its mysterious tendency to plague a friendship with secrets and lies.

Well, no one ever said breaking hearts was a simple craft….

Criticism Based On Books A Field Guide for Heartbreakers

Leaning toward 2.5 stars.This book has a completely misleading title, cover, and back-cover blurb. It's really not just "how to get guys in Europe" (that's more of the best friend's concern than the main character's) and although yes, there is brief mention of ice-cream cone licking, I think they could have done better than such a generic cover that doesn't even really fit the tone of the story.Dessy (is that SHORT for something?) and her obnoxious BFF Veronica go to Prague for a writer's

The story was a bit slow in the beginning, and I wasn't really fond of the two main characters at first. Then after a few more chapters I really loved all the weird adventures that Dessy and Veronica had. When I was finished with the book I couldn't shake the feeling that the book was missing some details. It felt kind of empty, I thought Dessy didn't really have much personality, but I Iiked that Tracy wrote the story from her point of view other than Veronica whom to everyone else in the book

When reading the summary of this novel, I became really interested in it. It seemed like a great summer read and really original I will admit while it is that, I was somewhat disappointed in the novel as a whole. While Tracy did present an interesting plot, there was just something missing within the characters. I couldn't connect- even with the Veronica and her "man-wall" (which wasn't played out as much as I had expected), I just couldn't get into it. Maybe it was because there wasn't enough

2.5 stars. I really wanted to like this book. It's about two girls who go to Prague for a creative writing workshop. I mean, how awesome is that?! But I just didn't really care for it. I could definitely relate to the main character, Dessy, in many ways, and I liked her for the most part (despite her ridiculous name). However, her best friend Veronica was extremely annoying and I found myself looking forward to any scenes Veronica wasn't in. I have to agree with my friend Jessica on this: I

Damn, this book was horrible.First of all, the setting is in Prague and these two girls are attending a book conference where aspiring authors from around the world share stories and whatnots.Anyway, the two main characters, Dessy and Veronica, are just horrible. Seriously, Dessy is a coward and Veronica is a bitch who has serious problems. Yeah, you're right. They're best friends.I had high hopes for this book, but the only fun part was when...(spoiler) their deranged roommate who is named

The book gods taught me a lesson for being shallow on this one. One shouldn't judge a book by its cover and boy did I take something away from this experience. A Field Guide to Heartbreakers was the single most frustrating reading experience I have had since being made to read The Mayor of Casterbridge in the eleventh grade. But at least I could see the literary merit in Hardy's work even I was ruing the day he was born. This...the bright side is that it is pretty.In attempting to be
