She starts off as a perky ditz, but you discover that she really IS Nikki’s friend and has Nikki’s back. At first they are what you’d expect – Nikki’s bubbly best friend, the rich boys who follow her around, the annoying kid sister, the quiet geek, but as the book progresses, you see that they are more than that. Surrounding Em/Nikki are several secondary characters. Turns out that being a teen-aged supermodel is not as simple as you’d think.
She has to learn how to be a model, figure out the complexity that is Nikki’s lovelife, and hide the fact that she’s not Nikki. Officially she’s dead -only her immediate family, and the Stark Corporation, Nikki’s main employer, knows that Em is still alive. Of course, despite her new celebrity status, this is not a dream for Em. Then disaster strikes, and Em wakes up in a hospital and learns she’s in someone else’s body. My Thoughts: We’re introduced to Em in her old life, arguing with her younger sister, feeling resentful of the way the popular girls are treated just because they are pretty (even when they spout superficial things), and crushing on her best friend Christopher, a fellow geek. In order to save her, her brain is transplanted into the body of supermodel Nikki Howard. Then one day, Em suffers a fatal freak accident. A smart girl who likes to play video games and isn’t interested in fashion or girly things, she mocks the popular kids and despairs that her sister wants to be a cheerleader. The Premise: Teenager Emerson Watts has always been a little bit of a outsider.
I received this book for the Book Blogger Holiday swap from Marireads.
