Big Boned by Meg Cabot continues the trials and tribulations of Heather Wells, a former pop star. To be fair, I had not read any of the previous Heather Wells mysteries by Meg Cabot, but this book piqued my interest and I have added the previous books to my reading list.
What I enjoyed about Big Boned was the harried pace. Our heroine is once again embroiled in a death investigation, only this time it is her boss who has been murdered. Heather tries to stay out of the murder investigation, but people keep dragging her into it. Her big heart leads her to help some of the college students that she knows and cares about deeply. Meanwhile, her father and business partner try to lure her into re-entering the world of show biz and her emotions are all over the place as she tries to decide what to do about everything.
Mixed into the chaos of the murder investigation, we are treated to a very human character. Heather thinks about food a lot and like the rest of us, finds it hard to resist desserts! She is torn between the man she loves and the man she is with, does she confess her undying love for Cooper or move on with the math prof? Does she ditch the college job she loves for the lure of show biz? Such decisions! Heather Wells does what any sane woman would do in such situations: she goes and gets herself a Dove bar!
All in all, I found this book to be fast paced and a thoroughly enjoyable read. I plan to go back to the beginning of the series and read more about Heather Wells because she was such an interesting character. I recommend Big Boned by Meg Cabot both as a stand alone book and also to those who have been reading the Heather Wells mysteries.
