I was
prepared to dislike Size 12 is not Fat based
on the title – thinking it would all be about a relatively skinny woman
obsessing about not being a complete stick insect. But the title is misleading – this is a
murder mystery featuring a washed up young pop star (think Britney Spears if
she hadn't recovered). To be honest the cover didn't do much for me either!
So I'm glad
I gave it a go – not that murder mystery is my normal thing. What I did enjoy about this book was the wry self-deprecating
humour of the heroine, Heather Wells. I
think I've found my next Janet Evanovich type obsession!
Of course
Meg Cabot has form – she was the author of the Princess Diaries – which I
haven't read but admit to having watched and enjoyed the movie a couple of
times.
She has
written some more books featuring the same heroine – Size 14 is not Fat Either,
Big Boned , Size 12 and ready to rock and The Bride Wore Size 12– don't be put
off by the naff titles!
I'm going to have to check these out! I love or used to love Janet Evanovich and have read all of her books!
ReplyDeleteI agree with you - I read this because of the weird title, and enjoyed it. My daughter was a big fan of the Princess Diaries.... so I read those too in my day, and saw the films.
