Size 14 Is Not Fat Either

- Meg Cabot -

Follow up to "Size 12 Is Not Fat"

Enjoyed this one very much - it was more or less free of the issues I had with the first one, in that there were the constant references to Heather's size/insecurity, but it didn't feel as predominant and irritating as in the first one.

I think part of that comes from the fact that she was much more confident in herself - particularly when it came to her investigative skills - and was speaking her mind much more often, so she didn't come across as nothing but a weight-obsessed insecure twit.

I enjoyed her standing up to Jordan, to the President of the University when he was being a jerk, and finally expressing herself a little bit to Cooper, even if it was initially under the influence of a roofie.

The mystery moved nicely, with some good misdirection and a very creepy villain/climax which was fun.

On to the next book in the series!
