Big Boned by Meg Cabot
3.0
I really got in to the first and second books in this three-part series (they are a fun, breezy read with lots of feel-good material on body image and type), but the last one just didn't do much for me. The mystery was clunky and forced to its conclusion by the author, whose strengths are dialogue, humour, and relatable female characters -- not cleverly designed murders. Alas. Why can't I have it all?!
The romantic thread was also resolved a little too neatly, adhering to the tenet of "OF COURSE THEY WILL END UP TOGETHER, SILLY" and not really permitting any other possibility. I returned _Big Boned_ to the library with a wistful sigh -- it was still an enjoyable read, of course, but it could have been so much MORE.
