Runaway by Meg Cabot

Runaway (Airhead, #3)

by Meg Cabot

Emerson Watts is on the run: from school, from her family and from herself. She's reeling from the shock that Nikki, the girl whose body her brain was forced to inhabit, is still alive. And she's furious. Manipulative Brandon plans to use Em to discover a secret that will ensure his success, whilst Christopher is out for revenge, fuelled by his jealousy. With everyone around her playing a dangerous game, maybe Em should just keep on running . . .

Runaway is the final book in the fashion-tastic and hilarious trilogy from the queen of teen fiction Meg Cabot.

"For a smart girl, I can be really dumb sometimes." (Emerson Watts)

Runaway is my favourite book in the Airhead series because things actually happen!

WHAT I LOVE
♥ That I felt like I was reading a Meg Cabot book.
Brandon's characterisation. He's a stupid evil character.
♥ Emerson embracing that Nikki's body is a part of her.
All the secondary characters: Lulu, Steven, Christopher, Frida, Nikki (the real one) and Gabriel. Some of the secondary characters play a larger role than others but all the secondary characters bring humour and heart to Runaway.

WHAT I DISLIKE
♥ Em's smarts didn't really show in this one. It took her so long to figure out what the Project Phoenix is.
♥ That every thing gets tied up a little too nicely in the end. Everybody ends up happy and in some type of a relationship.
♥ That the Airhead series could have been condensed into one long book. Airhead and Being Nikki have very little going on in them and in Runaway, everything happens.
