Size 12 Is Not Fat: Review

by Meg Cabot

Synopsis


Heather Wells Rocks!


Or, at least, she did. That was before she left the pop-idol life behind after she gained a dress size or two — and lost a boyfriend, a recording contract, and her life savings (when Mom took the money and ran off to Argentina). Now that the glamour and glory days of endless mall appearances are in the past, Heather's perfectly happy with her new size 12 shape (the average for the American woman!) and her new job as an assistant dorm director at one of New York's top colleges. That is, until the dead body of a female student from Heather's residence hall is discovered at the bottom of an elevator shaft.
The cops and the college president are ready to chalk the death off as an accident, the result of reckless youthful mischief. But Heather knows teenage girls . . . and girls do not elevator surf. Yet no one wants to listen — not the police, her colleagues, or the P.I. who owns the brownstone where she lives — even when more students start turning up dead in equally ordinary and subtly sinister ways. So Heather makes the decision to take on yet another new career: as spunky girl detective!
But her new job comes with few benefits, no cheering crowds, and lots of liabilities, some of them potentially fatal. And nothing ticks off a killer more than a portly ex-pop star who's sticking her nose where it doesn't belong . . .

FUN FUN FUN BOOK! I read this book a few weeks ago, back when I posted my TBR pile and just realized I didn't review it here, slacker!!!! HA HA HA!

I am giving this book 5 stars because it was like a one day read, and it was fun... and I loved the title.... truer words have never been spoken!

I did read the Queen of Babble series, they had me hooked from the first one, and I was so bummed when I had to wait for the last one to come out!
