Size 12 and Ready to Rock

Summer break . . . and the livin' ain't easy

Just because the students at New York College have flown the coop doesn't mean assistant residence hall director Heather Wells can relax. Fischer Hall is busier than ever, filled with squealing thirteen- and fourteen-year-old girls attending the first ever Tania Trace Teen Rock Camp, hosted by pop sensation Tania Trace herself--who just happens to be newly married to Heather's ex-boyfriend, heartthrob Jordan Cartwright. But the real headache begins when the producer of a reality TV show starring Tania winds up dead . . . and it's clear that the star was the intended victim.

Grant Cartwright, head of Cartwright Records, wants to keep his daughter-in-law (and his highest-earning performer) alive. So he hires his oldest son, black sheep of the family and private investigator Cooper Cartwright--who just happens to be Heather's "new" fiancE. Heather should leave the detecting to Cooper. But with a dorm full of hysterical mini-divas-in-training, she can't help but get involved. And after Tania shares a really shocking secret with her, "this" reality suddenly becomes more dangerously real than anyone ever anticipated.

This is going to be a short post because my internet went bust while I was trying to save my review and I don't have the patience to write another one as good. Therefore, beware that what is ahead are random thoughts that pop into my head that I meant to say about this book. Heather Wells is back with her fiance Cooper, his crazy family (which I'll get into later), all the people at her residence hall, and now the cast and crew of Jordan Loves Tania (a reality show following boy-bander Jordan Cartwright and his pop star wife Tania) who are there for Tania Trace Rock Camp. Heather starts noticing that something fishy is going on with Tania and to be honest, I was shocked when her secret was revealed.

The Cartwright clan was featured a lot more in this book because instead of focusing on murders of people Heather had no personal relationship with, it focuses on Tania's domestic troubles. It was nice to see another side of Tania and to find out that her motive behind her disgusting actions was not fame and money, but escape. The Cartwright twins were ridiculous and Nicole's song which is too nasty to mention here made me want to laugh and vomit at the same time. For once we got to see a healthy, normal relationship past the crush that lasted three books and ended with a proposal. If I can think of anything else I meant to say I will add it later.
