When I was first starting my book list, JP recommended Meg Cabot's AC fiction. Not really knowing what AC fiction is (I still don't - don't tell), I just scanned through her listings on Amazon and found a book with a title I enjoyed.

Size 12 is Not Fat is the first in a group of mystery books that Meg wrote about a pop star-turned-residence hall director. It's a very strange concept, but whatever. Britney goes to Berkeley.

Anyway, the book was a really quick read (for which I am thankful), but I was rather unimpressed. Meg Cabot writes a lot of young adult literature and I thought at first that that must be what was wrong. I had picked up a children's book thinking it was written for adults. But I hadn't. Size 12 is Not Fat is not classified as young adult literature, the main character is in her late twenties and there's *whispers* sex.

I kind of liked it, but would probably never recommend it to someone else. It's the kind of book I would happily read at the beach with Sarah back in the day while she read Lives of the Artists. I might even read more of them. At home. Where no one can see me.
