After a while of working for them the Phancey's take a vacation and leave her in charge for one day until the owner, Mr. The second section of the book details Michel's journey through America and how she came to work at 'The Dreamy Pines Motor Court' in the Adirondack Mountains for Jed and Mildred Phancey, the managers. After learning of her pregnancy and informing Rainer, he subsequently dumps her and pays for her to go to Switzerland to have an abortion. Michel details her second love affair to her German boss, Kurt Rainer, whom would eventually get Michel pregnant. The relationship ended that night and Michel was subsequently dumped later when Mallaby sent her a letter from the University of Oxford saying he had met someone else and had recently gotten engaged.

The first section of the book deals with Michel's past love affairs, the first being Derek Mallaby who took her virginity in a field after being kicked out of a cinema for indecent exposure.

The central character and narrator of The Spy Who Loved Me is Vivienne Michel, a young Canadian woman who ends up running a cheap motel in the Adirondack Mountains to pay for a trip through America. ' I was much interested in this view of James Bond, through the wrong end of the telescope, so to speak, and, after obtaining clearance for certain minor infringements of the Official Secrets Act, I have much pleasure in sponsoring its publication.' Plot In order to maintain the fiction of the book's central character, Vivienne Michel (and, some critics suggest, distance himself from a book with which he was unsatisfied), Fleming gave 'Michel' co-author credit on the title page and later claimed that he had found the manuscript 'lying on his desk one morning' with a note signed by 'Vivienne Michel'. James Bond himself actually doesn't appear until two-thirds of the way through the book and the novel itself breaks up Fleming's 'Blofeld Trilogy' of books. The Spy Who Loved Me is a clear departure from previous Bond novels by Ian Fleming, in that the novel is told in the first-person by a young woman named Vivienne Michel.

In the United States, a condensed version of the novel was published in the men's magazine Stag under the title 'Motel Nymph'. The shortest and most sexually explicit of Fleming's novels, it was banned in some countries and was not released in a paperback edition in Britain until several years after Fleming's death (Fleming had, in fact, requested that no paperback ever be published of the text).
