It wasn't what I was expecting and I thought the writing was good enough that I wanted to finish the book. However I feel like it felt like the writing at times got in the way of the emotional core of the book and seemed detached to me. It also could have just been a problem that I'm not the biggest fan of regular fiction even with the magical realism....more

If you're looking for something along the lines of Janet Evonovich's 'Stephanie Plum' series, or just something good and funny you should definitely think of giving this series a try. I've already converted two people already :)...more

I pretty much knew how it was going to play out but it seemed like it just sorta happened way too fast. I wanted a little more build up. But hey, it was still a really cute series and I enjoyed it a lot. I just hope Meg Cabot will continue writing more adult series. Her YA titles are always cute and enjoyable, but it's nice to read about more adult characters with her sense of humor too. ...more

It continues Heather Wells, former teen-pop sensation, mission to move on with her life as a residence hall director for a New York college. Once again a student has been murdered and Heather has to worm her way into solving the crime. I think so far this has to be my favorite Meg Cabot series, next to her Princess series. It was definitely a good book to read on a wet and rainy day. The ending even made me want to hurry and order the sequel. ...more

I prefer historical but it was nice to have a little something different and refreshing. I really liked the main character and the plot line, I just felt like the love interest could have been a little more fleshed out to me. But it was a nice bit of fluff to spend a rainy day reading and I would read more by the author. ...more

It's just a question of how long are you willing to read it over and over again. So far it's gotten a little old but I'm still enjoying them. I was a little disappointed in this novel as far as humor though. It was funny, but it didn't make me laugh out loud so that was a bummer. Hopefully it'll get better in book number 15. ...more
I didn't find this one as funny as other books, but it was still really good and made me laugh out loud several times. Every scene with Stephanie in RI didn't find this one as funny as other books, but it was still really good and made me laugh out loud several times. Every scene with Stephanie in Ranger's apartment was GOLD <3. ...more

It was kind of a surprise to me who she actually ended up with. I didn't see it coming in earlier novels. My only complaint was it took the main character till the end of the book to realize something it should have only taken her the first few pages to understand. But it was still adorable as all Meg Cabot's writing is. ...more
I thought Size 12 Is Not Fat was pretty cute. It had lot of the usual humor you expect from a Meg Cabot book. Size 12 is about former teen pop star, HI thought Size 12 Is Not Fat was pretty cute. It had lot of the usual humor you expect from a Meg Cabot book. Size 12 is about former teen pop star, Heather Wells, several years after her fame has gone away. Years ago her mother ran off with her money and her agent to another country. On top of that she found her fellow pop star boyfriend cheating on her. Since then she's had to find her own way in the world since her life as a teen star is over. She's decided to make something of her life and by chance gets a job working as an assistant for a residence hall at a college. When suddenly several girls are found dead in the elevator shaft, everyone thinks it was just a tragic case of elevator surfing. But Heather knows that girls do not elevator surf and takes up upon herself to find out what's really going on.
I expected Size 12 to just be some fun, light fluff and that's exactly what it was. It's part chick-lit part light mystery. The only real complaint I had about it was when the big confrontation with the murderer happened it was like 3-4 pages of the killer having their big monologue about why they did it and why they now have to kill Heather that I thought was kinda ridiculous. But it's just a minor complaint, and definitely look forward to the next in the series. ...more
