She falls in love with another young man dealing with his own grief. He quickly pulls her into his world, and Marah leaves home.

Life is going well for Heather in Big Boned by Meg Cabot. She has settled into a routine as an Assistant Dormitory Director and sometimes sleuth. She is still working for her landlord, Cooper, in exchange for free rent. Her father is moving into his own place. She is also in a mature relationship with Tad Tocco, her math professor.
Even better, nobody has died lately in “Death Dorm,” though that is about to change when her unlovable boss ends up dead. This time, Heather is on the suspect list, along with many others, including the leader of a group who is about to strike and a minister who’s been accused of taking liberties with some girls at the college.
When people want her to go back into show business, Heather isn’t sure what she should do, though she really has to get to the bottom of the mystery, even if she could end up hurt in the process!
Another great read by Cabot. I can’t wait to see how the series will play out!

I loved the Netflix series, so I just had to read the actual book. Actually, I read Firefly Lane once before, but when I found out there was a sequel, I had to read it all over again!
In Hannah’s book, we meet Kate Mularkey, an eighth grader who is socially at the bottom of the totem pole. When the “coolest girl in the world” moves in across the street and wants to be her friend, she can’t believe that Tully Hart actually wants to be her friend.
The two, who are complete opposites, bond in a way that only young girls can do. They make a pact to be friends forever, and from then on, they are TullyandKate and become inseparable.
As they grow up and their lives diverge, the two continue to be best friends. Tully is always desperate to prove herself and is determined to be the best reporter in the world. Her ambition drives her life, and she finds herself with fame and success.
Kate follows Tully into the news, but when she falls in love, she realizes she would rather stay home with her children. She wants to live an ordinary life, and takes pride in raising her children and doing everything she can to ensure they have a wonderful childhood.
For thirty years, Tully and Kate stay friends, no matter what they are doing. They have periods of jealousy, anger, hurt, and resentment, but they always find their way back to each other. Until a single act of betrayal tears them apart and threatens their friendship in a way that it never has.
If you are looking for a book about friendship (both the good and the bad), you definitely need to check out Firefly Lane by Kristin Hannah.

In Size 14 is Not Fat Either by Meg Cabot, Heather is back at it, except she has gained a few more pounds! She is still working as an assistant dorm director at New York College when another death makes people refer to her dorm as Death Dorm.
Though she tries to stay out of it, when a popular cheerleader’s head is found in the kitchen of the dormitory, it is hard when nobody can really figure out where the rest of the body is (or who did it). So, Heather starts snooping, as only she can do.
It also helps her deal with her life. Her ex-con father shows up on her doorstep. Her ex-fiance won’t stop calling her, even though he is about to marry someone else. Plus, she can’t really deal with the feelings that she has for her roommate.
However, Heather has to be careful, or she might be next in the line of murders in the building!
Another great read by Cabot. I can’t wait to finish the series and see what Heather gets up to next!
