A warning on my bad taste in books.
Whenever ago when we did the book challenge I recommended the Heather Wells Mysteries for my go to funny books.

I started listening to these again on audiobook a few weeks ago and they are ok. And they make me laugh. But there are some definite draws that I never remember.
1. One of the defining characteristics of Heather is that shes not fat “shes the same size as the average american woman”! (Size 12, 14, and then 12 again over the course of the novels. And she spends at least once every couple of pages describing in intricate detail food: dove bars, cookies, pizza. Always punctuated with a “oooh, yum!”
2. After book 2 theres one regular gay character except hes basically every single gay stereotype that has ever been. Towards the end of book 2 he gets a boyfriend and he basically has no lines. Ever.
3. There are no people of color at least none in major roles. This book takes place in NY. Specifically at a NY University. Theres a woman who is Heathers “work best friend”. She is a former beauty queen from the Dominican who has a heavy spanish accent and all of the kids laugh at her.
4. Theres only one character that Heather dislikes for all but the last book and a half of the series. A poc pop star who “stole” Heathers boyfriend before the series starts. She walks in on her giving head to Heathers boyfriend at the time. Heather spends the next 3 and a half books hating her (justifiably) but in book 4 Heather decides its up to her to save this woman. All while silently judging her and making fun of her for not making better decisions when she was young and alone and scared and being physically and emotionally abused.
Beanies this book is funny a lot of the time. But there are some SERIOUS drawbacks.
