Format:Paperback
I was given this book as a present and I couldn't wait to start it. I wasn't dissoppointed. I do agree with the reviewer who found certain bits annoying - the amount of the times she kept correcting herself certainly spoils the book and eventually you have to ignore those bits!!
I too didn't guess who the killer was and I normally dissopoint myself by guessing who it is!! Meg Cabot did a great job of hiding the killers identity right to the very end!!
The ending could have been handled better because your left wondering did they didn't they and I kind of got the feeling that the author wasn't too sure which ending she wanted to go with so just left it hanging.
However, it makes for a great summer read and is definately still worth a look once you get passed the repetitiveness.

i read this book on one flight! it is a great book that you can't put down
it has a bit of a slow start and the repetative "dorm - i mean residence hall" is a bit annoying but you completely forget about that while reading the book.
very different to the style of writing in the princess diaries. much better.
good storyline and great ending can't wait to read another heather wells mystery!

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Heather Wells is a former pop singer who has fallen on hard times and is working as an assistant director of New York College hall of residence. Two girls die apparently while 'elevator surfing', but Heather is conviced that their deaths are not accidental, because girls don't elevator surf.
Heather lives in the house of her ex-fiancee's brother Cooper, on whom she has a crush, and who happens to be a Private Investigator. She tries to get him interested in the case, but he is reluctant to get involved, as are the police. So Heather decides to do a little investigating on her own account.
The story is not uninteresting, but it rambles on with rather too much detail about clothes, diets, beauty routines etc, and Heather's drooling over Cooper gets a bit of a bore. I guessed whodunnit about halfway through the book, though exactly why did not become apparent until about three-quarters of the way through. There is some genuine excitement towards the end, and Heather is rescued from the clutches of the villain in a very unexpected way. I think the book would have been better if it had been about 100 pages shorter.

Not as predictable as you'd think
I don't normally read mysteries and found this refreshing compared to most of Meg Cabot's other books, which are usually fairly predictable and their storylines monotonous. Read more

A fluffy mystery
The Heather Wells mysteries are fluffy but the murder-mystery side gives them more depth than your average chick-lit novel. Read more

13 is too young
I got this book for my daughter who is a big Meg Cabot fan. It didn't cross my mind that it might be for a slightly older readership than the All Amercian Girl, Mediator, Princess... Read more

Not Meg's best...
I am a huge fan of Meg's and I usually enjoy her books, so I'm quite sad to say I didn't like this one. I was looking forward to the release of Size 12 Is Not Fat. Read more

Not too bad..
Meg Cabot's writing style is recognisable in "Size 12 Is Not Fat" - though at times, it can be somewhat annoying. Heather, the main character, repeats phrases and sayings (e.g. Read more
