Meg Cabot - Size 14 Is Not Fat Either (2006)
Reviewed by David J. Montgomery
Meg Cabot is best-known for her wildly popular young adult books, including The Princess Diaries. But she also writes books for adults, the latest of which is the charming chick-lit mystery Size 14 Is Not Fat Either.
Heather Wells is a washed-up pop star whose mother stole all her money and fled to Argentina. Now she’s working as an assistant dorm director at a New York City college. When one of the students is murdered – a cheerleader’s head is found boiling away on the stove in the cafeteria – Wells is determined to find the killer.
Size 14 Is Not Fat Either is never believable, but it doesn’t have to be. Wells is a real winner, as are the rest of the characters, and Cabot’s writing style is bright, breezy and funny. This isn’t high art, but it’s damn fun to read.
