I think this series is Meg Cabot's best work, after Avalon High. LOVE IT. This second book is full of unexpected turns and has a sort of Empire Strikes Back-esque ending, but I know all is not lost for Em and her friends. Can't wait to read Runaway - unfortunately, my library doesn't have it, and I don't want to buy the hardcover when my other books are paperback. Wah!

This was such a fun read - just as good as the first one. It is a light read without much substance but still a good distraction but world events. A teenage girl thrust into a world of evil corporate CEOs, vengeful tech nerds, Supermodels, and celebrity drama is just the escape I needed. I would recommend this to anyone that can get past the "brain transplant" premise.

Oh my gosh! Absolute perfect sequel! Everything I wanted/expected and so much more! Except for the parts towards the end when I wanted to throw the book across the wall... uggg. And then there were the parts that made me squeal with joy like when Chris found out... Oh my gosh, Meg Cabot hurry up with Runaway! You can't just leave this book off like you did! I am dying here! lol

Simple entertainment. Just as with the prequel, this is for young adults but it includes an interesting and science fictiony idea: brain transplant and how that would affect your life. Funny without being too serious with some endearing characters.

The plot takes on a whole new spin! Being Nikki is definitely a step up from Airhead. Way Better!!It is fun, well-paced and quite the page turner.If your looking for a great teen read.

I thought that this book was hard to get unto until the final third of the book. That's when the story got good and suck me in and I couldn't stop until I reached the last page. I hope that the final installment is exciting to read.

Ok, let me start this off by saying that I absolutely love Meg Cabot’s books. I have read every one of her books, aside from the kids books and the books written under another name. (Oh, and Ransom My Heart, because I’ve been busy with school and now trying to find a job and the like, but whatever, it’s totally on my summer reading list).
Anyway, I received an advance copy of her latest, Being Nikki, and I read it in probably less than eight hours.
This is something I both love and hate about reading her books. Especially the YA. I can get through them so quickly, which is great when I don’t have a whole lot of time on my hands but need a break from my textbooks. But it also feels like it’s over too fast and I’m left wanting more.
Such is the case with Being Nikki.
In this sequel to Airhead, Emerson Watts is living the life of supermodel Nikki Howard…in her body…after a brain transplant saved her life.
She’s already busy juggling her roommate, her “family members” who are looking for handouts, and her many suitors (including a British songwriter who has written one especially for her!), while trying to get the boy she’s loved since before the accident to realize who she really is. Now strange things are happening and Em is starting to suspect that shady dealings are going on at Stark Industries. In fact, she’s starting to question if there’s more to the story about what really happened to the real Nikki Howard.
Like all of Meg’s books, this one was delightful, charming and fun. The conversational tone made me feel like I was chatting with my close friend. Being Nikki was also full of intrigue. I have to say that I was unaware when I started that it was a mystery, but the hints were planted so well that I was making guesses all throughout.
Now that I’m finished, I really can’t wait until the third book in the series is released (or even written).
And I REALLY can’t wait until the next Heather Wells mystery comes out. It’s my favorite series for sure.
