I read Size 12 and loved it, but about a third of the way into this book the main character, Heather, just really started getting on my nerves. I tried picturing her a million different ways and even tried to give her a different voice, but she was just obnoxious. She's the kind of girl I really don't like to even be around. I would describe her as silly or even ditzy. Not cute at all. By the end of the book, I was annoyed and just ready for the book to be over. I won't be finishing the se

Somewhere between book one ("Size 12 Is Not Fat") and book two "Size 14 Is Not Fat Either", I have completely fallen in love with the characters of the Heather Wells series by Meg Cabot. I enjoyed the first book but LOVED the second!
Although it may be tempting to side-step the first book for this absolutely hilarious read (I actually laughed out loud several times), don't! Author Meg Cabot references many incidents from the first book and a lot of the characters c More...

I really don't know why I keep picking these up. They're like ... I don't know. I can't compare them to chocolate, because that's an insult to chocolate. They're like mental jellybeans, or something. Black jellybeans. Mildly nauseating, but somehow addictive.
That said, I didn't find this one as bad as the last one I read (well, listened to). Heather is not quite such a pain in the ass and the mystery plays out fairly well. I think what brightened this one up for me was the completely More...

Another chick lit murder mystery, this is the sequel to Size 12 Is Not Fat and I'm not sure why I bought this one since I did not like the first one. I keep reading Meg Cabot's books hoping I'll like them, but it is very clear that her true calling is writing for pre-teens (she's the author of the Princess Diaries series). Her heroines are such complete airheads. They always act and sound like 12-year-olds and yet the intelligent, accomplished, handsome men always end up falling for their charm

This is the second installment in the Heather Wells mystery series. Since I accidentally read the third book (Big Boned) first, reading Size 14 is Not Fat Either wraps up the series for me. The head of a girl who lives in Fisher Hall is found boiling in a pot on the stove in the cafeteria. Who killed this girl and why? Where is her body? Heather Wells, the assistant director of Fisher Hall, cannot resist the urge to find out the answers to these questions herself instead of waiting for the polic

I picked this up because I was away and had literally nothin else to read. I'd never read the first one and was not at all encouraged by the blurb; I typically hate chick-lit and detest romance becoming involved in a crime story. However, I got through this book in a day (not, I hasten to add, because I couldn't put it down, rather it was just a very very light read) and by the end, I'd grown quite fond of Heather. I still didn't care who she would end up with, but I found her a likeable charact

This summer I was in my library and there was this book sitting right in front with the title Size 14 is not fat either and it just made me laugh. I thought it would be just a funny little story about a girl dealing with weight issues. When I started reading the book I realized that there was more to the story. The protagonist is washed up pop stat heather wells who now works as assistant dorrn director at new york colledge. The story starts out with a girls head being found in a pot

I just have start off by saying that this Cabot book probably annoyed me the least out of any book ever! The ending was way different then any other book ever. YAY! (Unfortunately the set up for the next book seems to go back to annoying.) Also, the title of this book makes no sense as it has nothing to do with this book at all! Another mystery story. And all the facts just happen to drop into the Girl’s lap. Blah. More murders in the dorm where the girl works. Seriously, after the last story an

Size 14 is Not Fat Either is the second Heather Wells book that author Meg Cabot has written. In my opinion, its quite a bit better than the first. Granted, I did really enjoy Size 12, but now, the characters are more established for me. We already have a 'relationship' and I know what to expect from each of them. That being sad... Heather, Cooper, and all the rest STILL manage to throw some curve balls and keep the reader on her (or his) toes.

I *love* Heather Wells. And I think I love this book even more than the first one. I had resisted reading Meg Cabot for a long time. I thought the titles of her books were cheesy and girlie. I didn't want to read another chick-lit novel that was focused on the heroine finding love and getting married. And this is precisely why I ended up loving her writing and her characters. Heather Wells is not a character that's all about finding love and getting married. She's a funny, insecure, but absolut

...Okay seriously? I can't get enough of this series, I'm sucked into the world Meg Cabot has made up for Heather Wells and Cooper Cartwright, yeah they don't get together in the first book and it doesn't seem like they'll get together throuhgout this book but Meg is expertly dangling the hook of hope before me and I have no doubt that they WILL get together, cause though Cooper does not seem like he likes her in both of these books, we, the readers know different...we know that he's got it just

This is the second book in the Heather Wells series. I really liked the first so, of course, I have to read the others! This book was just as good as the first.
The story starts out with a pretty gruesome murder in the kitchen of Fisher Hall where Heather is an assistant dorm director. Despite her promises to friends and Cooper, her hot landlord and brother of her ex Jordan, that she will not get involved, it doesn’t take long for her to get dragged into the investigation.

Enjoyable and captivating enough to read in just a few days. I really enjoyed the secondary characters in this one (Gavin and Reggie) and the introduction of new characters (Tom and Dad). There were a few seriously laugh-out-loud bits in the book, and the mystery suspense kept me engaged. Here comes the prude in me... where Size 12 is Not Fat used the big bad "F Word" less than a handful of times to make a real point, this book was pretty full of it. I know it's a college campus.

Once again, Meg Cabot has truly shown her true awesomeness :)
This book was terrific though the first book of this series is probably better since it's less horrifying. I only really realized this when I was reading this yesterday, but this book and the book before it (Size 12 is not fat) is actually a mystery book. God I'm dumb for not realizing it earlier.

In this second novel about Heather Wells, former pop star turned resident hall assistant turned amateur sleuth, Heather and her residence hall are faced with yet another murder, just months after the murders that took place in the first novel, Size 12 Is Not Fat. As usual, her landlord/psuedo-boyfriend, Cooper, is telling her to stay out of it - but let's face it, Heather cannot let the investigation of the murder of an innocent cheerleader lay solely in the hands of the cops, who we all know

Size 14 Is Not Fat Either is a lot of fun. I don't think it's quite as funny as Size 12 Is Not Fat, but it still got quite a few laughs out of me. Meg Cabot certainly knows how to put people in a good mood with her books, which is why she's one of my favorite authors.
This book is a bit more serious than the previous one. I don't think this is a bad thing, it's just different. Actually, I liked that Heather had to deal with more than just the murder of the girl in the dorms (as if that More...

This second installment in the Heather Wells mysteries was just as enjoyable as the first. Meg Cabot has assembled some main characters that I'm actually enjoying getting to know through this series. OK, so it isn't literature on a grand scale, but I wasn't expecting it to be! As was the case with Size 12 Is Not Fat, I found myself giggling, if not laughing outright, at Heather. I don't know what I like more about her...her insecurities(despite her former pop-princess status) or her preoccupatio

For a while I thought I'd end up giving up on this book. Heather was starting to annoy me and then the frat party happened and drama! I'm glad I've finished it. I still don't remember the first book at all. Oh well.
I was kinda hoping that she'd end up with Gavin. Not that I think that would be a good idea, since he seems to think 21 shots in one night is a good idea. I don't think my uni had that ritual, but I don't drink so they might and I wouldn't have known about it (and yes, More...

Meg Cabot is not turning out to be one of my favorite authors. Maybe I resent how food is the top thought for Heather Wells 24/7, even though she is an aveage american woman. (size 12/14) I had some other issues with the character Wells in the first book but she got better in Size 14 and Big Boned.

I thought the first Heather Wells book, Size 12 is Not Fat, was a tidy little mystery. This book however, I couldn't put down, it was so good. I love that Meg Cabot writes her mystery series' as a romance instead of the never ending string of mysteries. Even though, in every book, Heather Wells solves a mystery that wraps up neatly, there is the bigger picture of Heather Wells and her dreamy landlord.

I didn't realize until I looked her up here on goodreads taht Meg Cabot also wrote The Princess Diaries which I enjoy in movie version anyway. This book was entertaining and an easy listening experience (I listen in the car). I would have given it 4 stars if it hadn't completely failed my rational mind toward the end of the book. There was no logical reason for the heroine to end up in the harrowing situation she did other than the author wanting to add drama. Not believable at all. But I l
