the first 3/4 of the book was pretty slow, I just really never got the sense that this girl was a "super star" in a former life, the last 1/4 of the book was pretty jam packed with action. the "villian" was kinda out of the blue and seemed like a cop-out to me. I will still read the next book in hopes that the character development is a little better for me. Just wondering when this will be made into a movie like all of the others....
Ehh. Fluffy but couldn't get sucked in enough to want to continue reading about the characters. What I like to call, "The Stephanie Plum Effect".
My favorite Meg Cabot series after the Mediator ones. COoper is awesome
4.5. A chick lit sleuthing series!!!??? The name of this genre should just be “Vanessa” lol. This was so much fun I need more ASAP.
3.5☆
I enjoyed the book & will read the rest of the collection. I found it very easy to solve who the real killer was but still nicely written.
The title is obviously a great message but I feel like the weight message is so out of place in this book.

Deleted 10 year old review bc i was practically a child and was very dumb.
Well, I feel like I haven’t read a Meg Cabot book in about a decade. However it seems that not much has changed. Despite the fact this is a mystery novel instead of a straight romance, you’ll find a lot of the same characteristics of her other books.
The premise of this book is that Heather, washed up former teen pop star, is trying to pull herself up by her own bootstraps and start life over. After a failed career and a failed engagement, she has moved in with her ex-boyfriend’s brother and is living in an apartment above him while she works at a residence hall at a local college.
Sidenote here the number of times they went back-and-forth about dorms and residence halls could’ve cut a solid 30 pages from this book and I would’ve been okay with it.
Anyway, now Heather is managing dorm while she works through her six-month probationary period until she can start taking classes for free at the college. She’s got a couple weird friends including the lunch lady, rockstar and his wife, Cooper of course, and a security guard. All this and she still a lot of other things going on, Like being hopelessly in love with Cooper but still sleeping with his brother and of course the two girls who died while elevator surfing.
This book kind of reads like a hot mess. But maybe that’s because Heather is kind of a hot mess. It’s mostly a chick flick book with interludes of detection work— if we’re being really honest did you expect anything else? It’s not that I disliked it exactly it’s just it was kind of dumb and boring and was not as good as I expected. It’s a real hard throwback to the early 2000s though. I remember really liking that cabinet books because they were fresh and fun. This was definitely a fresh premise but I wouldn’t say it’s very fun. I don’t know if I will continue the series. And a sidenote here to any publisher who might be reading this. Why would you put a super spoiler, book four preview in the back of the book one…??

A quick, dated read that was enjoyable. Plot was predictable for the most part. I was hoping for more of the romance at the end, guess that's why I will have to read the sequels.
I didn't really like Heather: I liked her personality but I thought she was pretty stupid sometimes. Just have liked other of Cabot's main characters (in other novels) much more.

this is what i'd consider "brain candy." definitely an easy read & there are parts that will make you laugh out loud.
