Meg Cabot's No Airhead!
I've recently, finished reading the Airhead series. I really enjoyed the series and although some of it was slightly predictable at times, the books were very heart warming. The series was a trilogy, made up of three books, 'Airhead', 'Airhead: Being Nikki' and 'Airhead: Runaway'.I read the first book, a couple years back when I got it out of the library. I was going to read the other books but it was hell to get the second book out, so I gave up.
I came to reading them two days ago when I decided that I needed a hearty romance to read and remembered 'Airhead'. The storyline is about a girl called Em Watts, who happens to be in the wrong place at the wrong time and a super-model called Nikki Howard who happens to also be there, after a freak accident, the two girls find the lives crashed together. Em finds herself discovering things about herself including new feelings about her best friend Christopher. The series is very well written and highlights the possibilities of the future.
I hadn't read any of Meg Cabot's books before but I found her writing style easy to comprehend and empathic. The characters of Em and Lulu were developed very well, although I was slightly disappointed with the ending. In my mind, I wanted the ending to be a bomb shell, and a bomb shell it wasn't. I found the hiring of Felix and Christopher difficult to believe and the argument between Em and her mum surprised me but not pleasantly as I couldn't ignore the fact that it took place in a public place.
All in all the book was very good, despite its down sides.
