Ugh. What a time machine this book is to early naught female aimed youth cozy mystery fiction.
Pretty much every racial, fat-phobic, gender based stereotype you can imagine was included in this book. These things made it very hard to read and finish. About 1/3 of the way in I was prepared to DNF the book, but finished only because I didn’t want to lose the time I had already invested in this toward mg reading goal for the year.
If a younger person wants to know what being a young girl was like in the early 2000’s, that is the only reason I can envision to read this book. It would be a great insight into the pressure and chaos of the times.
Heather is supposed to be 28 years old but her internal monologue is much more like that of a 15 year old. Given that is the age she was when she hit it “big” maybe this makes sense.
Definitely not interested in reading any more of this series.
