Emerson Watts is on the run: from school, from work, from her family, from her friends, from herself.

With everyone she loves furious with her for something she can't explain, and nothing but the live Stark Angel fashion show on New Year's Eve to look forward to, Em's reached the end of her rope... what's the point of even going on?

But when she discovers the truth about Nikki's secret, she knows there's only one person she can turn to.

Will Christopher be able to put aside his personal feelings and help her expose her employer to the world? Is it even fair to get Christopher involved—since if he agrees, there's every chance that Stark Enterprises will try to have them both killed—this time, permanently?

Maybe it would be better for Em to just keep on running.

What would you do if you found yourself in the body of a top supermodel?

Em Watts is in trouble. Everyone is mad at her. It doesn't help that she's now living in the body of top model Niki Howard. When the real Niki shows up and reveals the truth behind Stark Enterprises, Em turns to Christopher. But will he forgive her for turning away from him? Em doesn't have much time to lose. If word gets out that she's on to Stark Enterprises, this time she might really end up dead.

This is the third book in the Airhead series. I love Meg Cabot's writing and seriously think she's this generation's Judy Blume. This book continues the story of Em and her struggle to live in another person's body after a near fatal accident. Great pacing and dialog keep this story moving. I loved Lulu, one of the real Niki's friends. You'd think finding yourself in the body of one beautiful top model would be a dream come true but Cabot does a great job showing the downsides of this. The mystery behind Stark Enterprises is revealed toward the end and I had to admit, I could kind of see the appeal of his reasoning.

Cabot's real magic is with weaving chemistry between her characters. And she doesn't disappoint here with Em and Christopher.

A great conclusion to the Airhead trilogy.

Meg Cabot's books are so easy to read. You can breeze through one in a day.

This book is the culmination of the trilogy and perfectly wraps up all of the loose ends. I liked how she brought everything back together and made it so that everyone's lives were good, different, but good, at the end. Books like this help people to realize that what they have isn't necessary all that bad and they should be thankful for the lives they lead.

This book is full of people falling in love, people breaking up, people hooking up and people forgiving each other and coming back together. Disregarding the overarching sci-fi aspect of the book, it is like a day in the life of a teenager and beautifully written.
