Size 12 Is Not Fat by Meg Cabot

2.0

I wanted to love this book - it has everything I adore in a light read. A NON-skinny/perfect heroine, a cute cover that implies I'm going to be entertained and amused, and a first-person narrative which tends to draw me into a story... at least, it draws me in if the main character is funny, quirky, and intelligent, if not slightly neurotic. This book just didn't deliver for me. I found the narrator irritating at best and much of the narrative felt like way too much telling instead of letting me feel what was happening. I can see what some people get out of it, but having just come off a Sophie Kinsella binge, this was not smart or adorable enough to engage me at all.
