Heather Wells is a former pop star. Her mom took off with all her money when her career tanked. Her ex-fiance is getting married to the girl he cheated on her with. She lives with her ex-fiance's brother, who she is madly in love with.
Okay, so far it sounds like a typical chick lit book.
But there's a murder at the college and Heather plays a role in solving it, although she promises everyone she won't get involved.
This is book 2 in the series, and I didn't read book 1, so I'm not sure what happened the first time around.
It's a fairly easy read, but I don't like how the author uses all these parenthetical statements. It gets confusing after a while and you forget how the sentences even started.
Still, I like the story line. It's not completely believable, but that's not to say these things couldn't happen. Especially in today's screwed up society. It does seem like something you'd see in a B movie. Still, it was entertaining and nice to not have to think too much when reading this book.

Light, shallow, with a nice sprinkling of unrequited love.
I'm not going to make too much of a fuss about this book or write too long a review; but when you're looking for something light, Meg Cabot really does hit the spot.
Size 14 Is Not Fat Either is a Heather Wells mystery and is the sequel to Size 12 Is Not Fat which I reviewed earlier this year. Heather Wells is a former child pop star who is now living a life of obscurity and working as a resident hall assistant director. She obviously has a touch of the Jessica Fletcher charm because people seem to get killed around her and she is the one left to solve the murders.
The book was a lot of fun and I enjoyed reading it in a week when I had too much serious stuff on my mind to enjoy anything else. I'm definitely going to get the next book in the series to read the next time my brain goes all scatty and month-end deadlines are rushing by.
