Book Review Time: BEING NIKKI
TITLE: 'Being Nikki'
AUTHOR: Meg Cabot
PAGES: 336
SUMMARY: (Thanks to GoodReads.com)Things aren't pretty for Emerson Watts.
Em was sure there couldn't be anything worse than being a brainiac the body of a teenaged supermodel.
But it turned out she was wrong. Because that supermodel could turn out to have a mother who's gone mysteriously missing, a brother who's shown up on her doorstep demanding answers, a former best friend who's intent on destroying Stark Enterprises to avenge the death of his lost love, and a British heartthrob who's written a song about her that's topping the charts.
How can Em balance all that with school, runway shows, and weekend jaunts to St. Johns - especially when she's got ex-boyfriends crawling out of the woodwork who want more than just a photo op; a sister who is headed to the high school cheerleading championships; a company she represents that seems to be turning to the dark side...
Not to mention trying to convince the love of her life that models aren't really airheads after all...especially one model in particular.
But then, nobody said it was going to be easy being Nikki
RATING: B-
I really liked reading this book. I was hesitant in the beginning about how much I would like it because the first one was just okay. I was surprised, I liked getting more into the life of the actual Nikki Howard. About her family and how mean she really was! I don't like the new Christopher one bit. I feel he is just angry (and I understand why he is), but he isn't acting how we would expect him to act. I was upset when he threw himself onto Em, as Nikki, once he found out who she was! I was shocked! Overall, what made me dislike this was the ending. When we find out Nikki is actually alive I was excited, but I felt the whole thing with Brandon was a little much and I wish Em wasn't such a push-over! I do want to see what happens next, but I am not on the edge of my seat!
