Recently I've been reading the first book in the Heather Wells series by Meg Cabot, titled Size 12 is Not Fat. If the title hasn't already got you hooked, then you're probably considerably smaller than a size 12.
This is one of those books that is simply a pleasure to read. It is written well, and the main character is spunky, lively, and vivacious; I kind of wish she was real so we could hang out!!!!
On to plot: the story is about Heather Wells, a 28-year-old woman who is, obviously, a size 12. When Heather was a teenager, she was a famous pop star - think Britney Spears, except not perhaps as famous. However, she ended up breaking up with her boy band finance after catching him cheating, losing her recording contract after asking if she could sing her own material, and losing all her money when her mother ran off to Argentina. So now Heather works in a residence hall at New York College, attempting to fulfill a six-month probationary period before enrolling in the college and getting access to a cheaper degree. She's living with the attractive, intelligent older brother of her ex; not in a romantic way, as he's her landlord (she's majorly in love with him though). This is the basic background; sound sort of boring? Well, it's not!!!!! Because it's also a MURDER MYSTERY!!!!!! Girls in her dorm are dying, and Heather's playing super snoop!!!!!! I won't say any more, but trust me, it's really good! Plus it's a series, so there'll be more!
I love this book, so definitely give it a shot - I swear you'll love it, whether you're a size 0 or 28!!!!!!!!! :)
