Short Synopsis: Heather Wells is back! Heather is ecstatic that Cooper has proposed and are thinking of eloping. But things get even more haywire in the Cartwright household, when Tania, Jordan's wife, is being threatened.

My Thoughts: I had loved reading this story in the past, but admittedly, found this one a little bit more difficult to get through.

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 fiancÉ. 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.

Another entertaining read from Meg Cabot. I love the main character, Heather, as she struggles with every day life, and her weight among other things. Heather is very relatable, as she was a washed up pop star singer, struggling to make her life work once more, as she works as a dorm assistant at a local college. 

I loved reading about Cooper and Heather's relationship, but kind of wished that there was more. This latest installment of the series is filled with drama, as more and more people discover that Cooper has proposed, but the two are trying to keep everything on the down low. Both Cooper and Heather don't really want Jordan to find out, as it would make things even more awkward. I was a bit annoyed that Cooper and Heather didn't tell the Cartwright family that they were getting married at times, if they were in fact serious about it.

But aside from the wedding in question drama, Heather discovers that Jordan and Tania are now shooting a reality show called Jordan Loves Tania, which documents their lives together. And if things couldn't get even more worse, Tania decides to move her singing camp to Fisher Hall, because she feels more protected with Heather around. 

At times, Heather and Tania's relationship felt a bit forced, and not really in sync. And though Tania is a grown woman with a baby on the way, It also felt like she was a bit childish at times, and when she says she did stand up for herself, as a reader, it didn't really take notice. The ending was a bit mediocre, and I kind of wish that there was something more. Overall, I'm just glad that Heather's story is not yet over, as there will be more coming in 2013.

Would I recommend this book: Maybe

Rating: I give this book a 3/5.
