From the Back Cover

Heather Wells is used to having her cake and eating it too, but this time her cake just might be cooked. Her wedding cake, that is.

With her upcoming nuptials to PI Cooper Cartwright only weeks away, Heather's already stressed. And when a pretty junior turns up dead, Heather's sure things can't get worse--until every student in the dorm where she works is a possible suspect, and Heather's long-lost mother shows up.

Heather has no time for a tearful mother and bride reunion. She has a wedding to pull off and a murder to solve. Instead of wedding bells, she might be hearing wedding bullets, but she's determined to bring the bad guys to justice if it's the last thing she does . . . and this time, it just might be.

Review Quotes

"If you've only read Ms. Cabot's young adult books, you're missing out. Size 12 and Ready to Rock showcases her witty, humorous, and keen ability to craft an effective and engrossing mystery. There are shades of Sophia Kinsella and Chelsea Handler in this thoroughly lighthearted, but definitely not lightweight story." - New York Journal of Books
"There is a school of thought that says reading should be entertaining, and this is exactly what Meg Cabot produces for us: fun. She is the master of her genre; she is the George Bernard Shaw if not the George Eliot of [her genre]." - Publishers Weekly
"Spunky heroine, witty dialog... and outrageously funny situations." - Library Journal, on Big Boned
"Bag the tiara and get out the gun ... Cabot delivers Heather's amateur sleuthing adventures in a rapid-fire narrative that may leave some readers begging for time-outs to control sudden laughing fits." - Publishers Weekly
"an exciting mystery and a surprisingly funny caper." - Booklist
"Cabot's Size 12 series, about teen-pop-star-turned-plump-dorm-director Heather Wells, is delightful. [...] Wells - an amateur sleuth on top of everything else - finds herself in familiar crime-solving territory. It's a delicious mix." - People
