So first things first: this is a very different beast from Size 12 is Not Fat (one of my favourite books to reread, you should check it out if you haven't already).

I came in looking for a perky breezy university murder story (seriously, read Size 12 is Not Fat you guys, it's a trip) and what I got was a book which, while being mostly perky and breezy in tone, was less about murder (although there is one, and it's pretty gruesome) and more about abusive relationships. 

Also endometriosis.

(NB these things are not happening to the same character.) 

I'm not mad, I just wasn't expecting it. 

There's one more book in this series, which I've not yet read but which I might have to track down now...intrigued to see where the story goes after this.

PS: One minor gripe (although it does come up every chapter) ... not really blown away by any of the songs in this one. Objectively I applaud all these fictional ladies taking charge, expressing themselves and writing their own lyrics but, subjectively, not my bag.

After dallying with sexy vampires and ingeniously reinterpreting the Dracula legend (Insatiable, Overbite), #1 New York Times bestseller Meg Cabot is ready to rock ’n’ roll once more with Heather Wells. The un-petite assistant New York City college dorm director and sometime sleuth is back in Size 12 and Ready to Rock—a delectable comedy mystery that proves once more that the much beloved author of The Princess Diaries rules in the realm of grown-up women’s fiction as well. Heather’s got her hands full when a pop star and her reality TV camera crew invade the dorm—bringing with them a summer camp-full of adoring teen admirers—only to have an inconvenient homicide spoil the fun. There’s romance, treachery, merry mayhem and music—just the ticket for readers who like to rock out on the hip contemporary singleton fiction of Sophie Kinsella, Jennifer Weiner, and Jane Green.
