Size 12 Is Not Fat by Meg CabotMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
I tend to read mostly mid grade or young adult books, but this title was in the adult section. It is by Meg Cabot, who writes many young adult books like the Princess Diaries series. I haven't read anything she has written that I haven't like and this is no exception.
Heather Wells is a washed-out pop singer who gets abandoned by her mother and obtains employment at a college dorm (or residence hall as the story is careful to call it). But her passion is not managing the residence hall, it is solving crimes the police can't seem to acknowledge. When girls in her dorm start dieing, she jumps into action.
This book is great for learning to accept yourself as you are. It shows that beauty does not mean a size four, and at least in stories, some people have probably dealt with more than you.
I love Meg Cabot. This book is definitely on the adult shelf for good reason, but older teens could enjoy it as well.
I had to run out and find the second book in this series.

and obama gives out all his flowery words and smiles,
ReplyDeleteand then when he is playing the leader, stern, mean looking and thumping his hands on the podium in front of him.
his flowery words give way to thorns and thistles, sticking each American,
as his thugs from behind do all the "dirty work", so obama looks good with his flowery words....
what a sick demented individual.
look at the 600+ new regulations he put on business in July only....
while he was smiling and pouring out all those flowery words, his minions were enforcing new regulations.
if you trust obama, you are trusting a snake... or .. more appropriately, ... satan.
are you voting for him in 2012? good luck... you can get in line for food stamps then.
