Although I've loved every one of Meg Cabot's teen books that I've read, I keep finding myself struggling to enjoy her adult books. SIZE 12 IS NOT FAT is the first in the series about Heather Wells, a former pop singer sensation who is now an assistant residence hall manager at a college in New York. In this first book, students in the Hall keep winding up dead, and Heather takes it upon herself to figure out what's going on -- along with the man who is her landlord, and who also happens to be the brother of her ex-fiance. It's not that it's a bad plot, but I just couldn't get in touch with the characters, or even like them all that much. I hope others will enjoy the book more than I did!   hide

Smart and so funny! I don't like The Princess Diaries but this is a whole new level

great book!!..focussing more on older readers..contains mystery,romance and a touch of humour.loved this book..keeps da reader in suspense till the end!!..great ending

I expected better from this book, actually. The repetitiveness of the protagonist's desires toward her landlord and "residence hall" just became too annoying too quickly. She doesn't realize she's a bad detective, and instantly jumps to dreams of how great everything will be. I prefer Stephanie Plum, at least she's a realist.
