My issue with this book is that the protagonist was kind of dumb and relied too much on validation from men (mostly in her sleuthing). Will I read the next one though? Probably if my library has the audio. 🤷🏼♀️
The mystery did have some twists which was nice.

When I was a teenager I felt in love with Meg Cabot's Princess Mia series. It was probably one of the first series in young adult genre I have ever read. So Mrs Cabot will always have a warm place in my heart.
I started this book some time ago and left it after few chapters looking for something completely different. Now, spending my vacations by the pool, I decided to came back to it, especially that it suited one of my challenges. And I was surprised by actually how good is this book.
At first the silliness and naivety of Heather was driving me mad but I get used to it and later on found her really charming. I liked that she cared about people. All the past events in her life make her an interesting character.
The setting, the dorm building, is enough unusual to make the story differ from the others. And the whole suspense part was really grabbing.
I found this book somewhat similar to Janet Evanovich series about Stephanie Plum. It was as easy to read as Evanovich.
I am definitely going to read other books in this series.

I read this a while ago and now I'm going to reread the while series!
Honestly I'm mostly doing it for the slow burn Cooper. 😂

The jokes are exhaustingly repetitive, but it was still an enjoyable read as far as plot goes.
This book was easy to read and entertaining for a couple days. I found Heather Mills character endearing; however at times I found her frustrating. She is desperately in love with her roommate but unwilling to ever tell him. While being terrified of telling a boy she loves him she's not afraid at all of a potential murderer. She dives head first into the murder mystery in the dorm- or, as we are never meant to forget as the term is annoyingly repeated throughout the book, residence hall. The book is typical of chick lit and the plot line is predictable. That being said, overall I did enjoy it. I was not expecting it to be literary genious and as a result I could enjoy the book. I do believe the Heather's character could have been developed more but I believe there are 2 other books in the series and I have a suspicion that over time the character development will occur. I give this book 3 stars.
Okay, so I think I'm starting to realize that chick-lit is not my thing. The women tend to annoy me (I've never actually met a woman like this. Am I missing something? Do they really exist or do I just not meet enough people?). I just find it hard to believe that people are dying and only the main character, Heather, seems to think it could be murder. And the repetition of things in the book ("dorm -- I mean residence hall" or "size 12 is the size of the average American woman," just to name a few) was also really annoying. I knew how the book would end before I was even half-way through the book.
But a couple of my friends keep telling me how great this series is. And how much I'll love it. And I should just give it another chance. So I'll read the next one. But I can't promise I'll be nice about it.
