Size 14 Is Not Fat Either by Meg Cabot

mfabiano726's review against another edition

This book was just as good as the first! It was funny, interesting and extremely well written. Heather gets involved in another murder case. Another murder has taken place in "death dorm," this time is a popular cheerleader and all they find of her is her head! I LOVE HEATHER MILLS!!!

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.

The plot was better in this one than the previous one, and I always love Meg Cabot's voice, but I think in this one I got to know Heather a bit better in the previous installment. Still, I downloaded the next one...

I like this series and chick lit is definitely a guilty pleasure of mine. I do wish it moved a little faster, as I feel that the books are drawn out or wordy or something... I can't quite put my finger on it. The series thus far has been an enjoyable fun read for me so far and it is funny. Great poolside books.

I rilly love this book! Heather Wells had like rilly inspired me to become a dorm *get interupted*. Excuse me, I meant to say resident hall. So anyways, Heather, like totally inspired me to become one of those things and solve crimes! JKJKJKJK. Truthfully, I loved this book. I love how Heather always seems to be caught in the middle of an investigation. I love the fact that this character is so confident about her weight and doesn't care what anyone thinks about her. But I hope she really does go out with Gavin. Hes such a good guy (hey, if he was real... I'd even go out with the dude.)

Unfortunately, the endings to her books are predictable after reading one.
