It was awfully long time I heard about Meg Cabot in many places, but I resisted, thinking it was still yet another author for teens. And then, by dint of force, the face of such enthusiasm, I relented. But beware! I was not going to ignore my reservations as easily out of the question, so let me try by The Princess Diaries , whose adaptation Disney had not particularly excited. Not ... If I gave, it would take me the best of the best, no less! And then, I was advised the trilogy of the adventures of Heather Wells An irresistible like to ... My curiosity piqued Finally, I ordered Size 12 Is Not Fat (Volume One) whose title made me smile already. As the summary, I admit it intrigued me:
Heather Wells, soon thirties, is a former teen pop star, whose career and love life, have flop when it took a few pounds, that his contract with his record has been annulled and that his mother became the coach with his manager and all his savings. To top it all, her fiance, singer of boy band hit the left (bad for his image, obviously!). She finds refuge with her future-ex-brother in law, a private detective with a big heart but little Locace, and began a career as a college dorm supervisor in New York. Her life is slowly returning to sense when all of a sudden, two students die one after another in strange accidents. Despite the tragedy, the police do not seem to suspect anything, but Heather, she has a flea in his ear. There is something happening in this dorm, and she is determined to discover the end of the story, even if everyone takes it for a crazy. She then leads the investigation, by seeking the help of Cooper, his roommate, future-ex-redneck, it is wildly but secretly love. Ensue when a series of twists worthy of a great Stephanie Plum (MA standard for thrillers / comedy), all with humor detonating.
I do not hide it, this novel is a real favorite! It's funny, easy to read, engaging, the plot is well constructed. It gets caught in the game right away, because Heather is a superhero, I imagine it's like a Britney a bit cheesy that would have made his career in malls. She is tough, it's the least we can say, strong but vulnerable ('argh!, but tell her you love her, dammit! ") and frankly very entertaining.
Meg Cabot is a very prolific writer who covers many different genres, from chick lit to read the bit, through children's literature and young adult, who has published many novels, many of which have become bestsellers. The Adventures of Heather Wells are already three volumes (including the two following will come quickly inflate my PAL, for sure!), And a fourth is in preparation. Believe me, it has not finished hearing about it!
