by Meg Cabot
Emerson Watts didn’t even want to go to the new SoHo Stark Megastore grand opening. But someone needed to look out for her sister, Frida, whose crush, British heartthrob Gabriel Luna, would be singing and signing autographs there—along with the newly appointed Face of Stark, teen supermodel sensation Nikki Howard.
How was Em to know that disaster would strike, changing her—and life as she’d known it—forever? One bizarre accident later, and Em Watts, always the tomboy, never the party princess, is no longer herself. Literally.
REVIEW:
Meg Cabot books are absolutely perfect for lazy days. Re- reading one at the age of nineteen is like going through an old photo album. I remember the thirteen- fourteen year old me always liked her standalone novels more and then came this trilogy. Most of the Cabot books are a good mix of fun, feminism, awesome guys, teenage problems, family problems and happy endings. This one is no exception. In fact, additionally, it has glamor, make up, runways, a brigade of hotties, a pinch of mystery and brain transplants!!
Yeah.
Cool right?
Em is a tom- boy cum geek which obviously doesn't put her on the list of 'Most Desirable People in School'. But she doesn't care and that's why I like her. She would rather give all the Walking Dead (the 'in' people) a piece of her mind (looooooooool) and play Journeyquest, the best video game on Earth with her best friend Christopher. But her life changes when, because of an unfortunate accident, her brain gets transplanted into the body of the hottest model in the country Nikki Howard and she is made to honor ALL her modelling contracts including being the Face of a Company that she detests.
So it is goodbye "nail biting and baggy hoodies and fatty food" and hello! "runway, media,a hot singing sensation,a hot heir to to a corporation worth billions, an adorable room mate and duh a poodle".
I like the fact that in spite of being a very funny novel, it had its serious moments, especially the hurt Em felt when she started realizing that her old self and her old life is really dead and she has no option but to adjust to her new life with new people and Nikki's old past about which she had no idea.
The sarcasm :')
There were parts in the book where I kept humming the song Best of Both Worlds by Hannah Montana, not the chorus (lol) but the line "It's really you but no one ever discovers (Christopher !!!)".
This is Em's book throughout and since I have already read the entire series, I can assure you that the sequels take turns that you just don't expect. Consider this book to be a prologue as things do stretch in parts but it's a cute series.
