The sequel to Airhead wasn't as good as the first book, but it did have more drama. The book delves more into Stark secrets and motives, as well as more boy drama for Em. I actually like Gabriel the best, I wish Em would pick him. I don't like that Christopher didn't notice Em before and it took her dying for him to realize he loved her. Steven was an interesting character, military and not having any of Em's pretending. I dont really like Frida, she's pretty self centered and is always mad at Em unless something is benefitting her. But I guess that's how a lot of 14 year old girls are. The end didn't leave me super excited for Runaway, but I'll read it to finish the series. ( )

This is a wonderful continuation of the Airhead series. Stark Enterprises is starting to look even sketchier with what Em finds out about the Nikki situation in this book!

What I most enjoy out of Cabot books are the characters. She has a flair for creating interesting, complex characters and turning stereotypes around. I love that she has female characters who are into makeup and fashion who are also smart, capable, and brave. It’s fun to see characters who view feminine stuff negatively have to re-examine their opinions when they’re faced with people who love makeup and boots and are smart.

We get to see more of Nikki’s family in this book, which I really enjoyed; it was nice to see her through her brother’s eyes and be able to get more information on what exactly was happening when the TV fell on Em. Along with that, it’s great that Em is becoming more and more confused about how she should approach her life; her feelings for her family and people from her previous life are becoming confused, especially since she’s wondering if she’s putting them in danger by continuing to hang onto them. It’s an interesting dilemma that she has to go through.

This is a typical middle book where mostly things are being set up for the finale; while sometimes middle books can drag, Cabot does a great job at revealing some intriguing twists and hinting at future reveals. This book does end on a bit of a cliffhanger, so you probably want the third book ready for when you finish.

This book series is so weird yet so addicting at the same time. I'M HOOKED. ( )

Honestly the whole concept is absolutely ridiculous, but I really enjoyed myself. This series isn't something to take seriously, but it is nice to read just to escape for a little while. I wish I could say that I didn't figure out where the story was going to go, but I did. It's exactly how I would have concluded the series, so way to go Meg! Really this is a fun adventure that you will want to put down but will find yourself unable to drop. Just read it, you know you want to! ( )
