The story was humorous and thought-provoking, which is not an easy combination to work with as a writer. As the story moved forward she became less like a caricature of a society heiress and more like a sweet, fun-loving girl who just happens to have all the money in the world. I also enjoyed the secondary character of Lulu. I really enjoyed this book! Em is a character who is easy to relate to- she is very much like I was in high school. The story started off a little slow, but picked up in the middle. Through a sci-fi-type surgery she has become Nikki- the seventeen-year old supermodel who has taken the world by storm. As she begins to emerge from her coma, she comes to the realization that her worst nightmares have come true. After a horrible, tragic injury, Em wakes up in the hospital a full month after being hurt. When Em and Christopher are forced to chaperone her younger sister’s day at a mega-story grand opening, tragedy strikes. A brainy tomboy, Em’s best friend is the video game loving Christopher. The story follows Emerson Watts, self-proclaimed outsider at Tribeca Alternative High School. It’s difficult to summarize the novel without giving away the elements of surprise in the plot.
