The book im reading is called size 12 is not fat. im only at starting the 4th chapter but i already like it 20 times more then the last book i read...any book is better than that one. but any ways, in the first three chapters heather ( the main character) is faced with two totally different problems the first is that poeple just dont seem to et that size 12 isnt fat and that she is the average sze and and american woman."as i frequently remind rachel, size 12 is not fat. its i s the size of the average american woman. hello. and there are plenty of us (size 12s) who have boyfriends thank you very much"(p25). her second problem is a little more serious. she works in a resident hall or a "dorm" at NYC and she is suppose to watch over the kids and make sure they all take care of themselves but one saturday she gets a call from her boss rachel and gets the news that one of the kids has die...

(p.8)-" heather, im calling yu to let you know that there has been a death in the building." this is the message that her boss rachel leaves her telling her that someone has died and is the beging of the story.
An emerging theme that i am starting to see in the book is that there is a lot of mysteries and secrets in the book that will unfold as i keep reading!
