When former pop star Heather Well witnesses yet another murder in he residence hall which is now beginning to be called "death dorm", she tries to find out who and why the killer did it, putting more pressure on her already stressed life (with an ex con father who has suddenly appeared in her doorstep, trying not to fall more in love with the private detective who owns the house she is living at who also happens to be her ex fiancee's brother, and her ex fiancee constantly wanting to communicate with her), whats a big girl with a big heart got to do?

This book started off a bit slow but the action started increasing little by little. The reason why I rated it three stars is (other other than its slow beginning) is that Heather's ex fiancee, Jordan Cartwright, could not be anymore annoying!!! Also, the killer was pretty predictable so it didn't really give me that sense of mystery wondering who it really was. I wouldn't really recommend this one unless you've already begun the series and your just dying to know (like I was) of what would become of Heather and Cooper (have to wait till the 3rd and last book to finally find out).

If you liked this, you'll like: Big Boned, Queen of Babble, Guitar Girl

i like the author's style of writing, and her characters are hilarious, but i have a hard time getting past all the language in this one. i almost didn't finish it, but i'm dying to see if heather and cooper actually get together.

I really enjoyed this book. I liked the fact that it was not a total "love story" but rather had some mystery in it. It was a very easy and quick read. I am defiantly going to Big Bone to see what Heather is up to next!!!!

I had the audiobook borrowed since July 2022 so I figure that now is a good time to finally crack it open and return to the series. 

God I love how I didn’t need to remember the first book to get into this one. I appreciate it cause I read the first book so long ago. 

This is such a light read. I love Heather and all the hijinks in this story. I'll definitely be continuing this series.
