Being stuck in the body of a supermodel might sound like a dream come true for some girls, but for Emerson Watts, it's turning into a complete nightmare...

I was so hooked on this series that I finished book two, put it back on my shelf, and picked up book three. And kept reading. I didn't even bother changing my status on Goodreads. THAT'S how much I was in love with the story and HAD to keep reading. Oh my god.

I have to buy book one now. In hardcover. And then hunt down More...

Unfortunately, I read this book before I read the second book of this series - "Being Nikki". I finished "Airhead" and was dying to read "Being Nikki" and "Runaway", but the person who borrowed "Being Nikki" has not returned it yet, so I borrowed "Runaway". To my dismay, I couldn't help myself from taking a peek at this book, and then obviously not being able to tear myself from it. I only stopped once I reached the end, and unfortunate More...

Meg Cabot is awesome. Just plain ole' freaggin' awesome. She can do no wrong in my eyes!

Runaway was a fantastic ending to this series. The secret behind the Stark Enterprises, is so simple, it's brilliant! I couldn't believe that I didn't figure it out sooner!

If you've never read Meg Cabot before, I highly recommend that you check her out! If you like something entertaining, funny and not all that serious, anything written by her would be up your alley.

As I sa More...

(Spoiler Warning! Do not read unless you have read the previous Airhead novels).

Well things aren’t looking good for Emerson Watts. Not only has she been kidnapped by Brandon Stark, but she’s also been forced to break the heart of Christopher (the one boy she loves). All so she can keep the real Nikki Howard safe. For those of your reading who haven’t read the Airhead series Emerson’s body was destroyed and her brain was transplanted into Stark supermodel, Nikki Howard’s. Emerson was fo More...

It's official I can't give more than three star rating to this series but I have got to say this series gets more interesting with each book. "Runaway" is the best book in the series not just because the series ends with this book but because it lacks all those redundant narratives that rendered the previous books less enjoyable. The story is fast paced and the characters less annoying although I can't say the same for Christopher because he is by far one of the most annoying character More...

Emma rated it: 3 of 5 stars
While I definitely enjoyed these books, some parts, while realistic, seem like a little bit of the wrong message to be sending to teenage girls. As an adult, I appreciate the realism, but I feel like teenagers should still be under the impression that boys will like them for who they are, and they shouldn't have to pretend to be helpless to get a man. Or being pretty is helpful in life, but there's a legitimacy to be a tomboy or an outcast, especially when you're sixteen, which I feel kind of ge More...

Emily Watts is trying to get away from everything. She’s in a new super model’s body and doesn’t know how to live this crazy, famous life. She wants to hide, but everyone knows who she is because she’s a super model now. Stark Enterprise (The modeling company) doesn’t want Nikki to tell everybody the secret, and that she’s really just Em Watts, a normal teenage girl. Her celebrity boyfriend is controlling but she can’t dump him because of the fame. And plus, he’s her boss’s son. She still talks More...

Emerson Watts had a body of a model Nikki Howard, but it seemed that the body her brain was in, was some sort of jinxed.
or maybe, it was because of Em's fault.
but Em wouldn't let people rule over her anymore, she would find a way to escape and ranaway after everything cleaned up.
and cleaned up meant, bring down Stark Enterprises.



what a very very quick reading book. very teenage-ish I read it only in two hours. but as fast-paced as it was, pretty cool full-p More...

Meg Cabot is, for me, a guilty pleasure. Pure chick-lit escapism, I read her books when I really just don't want to have to think much. So I'm not against her books in general. I just really did NOT enjoy this series.

It felt like there wasn't actually too much story, so Ms Cabot had to do some SERIOUS filling in.

I just couldn't stand the constant references to actually being dead. Like, 'Oh I could totally go and do that. If I wasn't dead already, that is.' EVERY TIME there w More...

Runaway is the third and I'm assuming final book in Meg Cabot's Airhead series. This review assumes that you've read the first two books in the series and may have spoilers for them if you haven't.

In Runaway, Em Watts has finally figured out what sinister project Robert Stark has been up to all this time and works with her friends to expose him. Along the way she and Christopher try to make the transition from best friends to boyfriend/girlfriend.

I had Robert Stark's sec More...

I loved the book because it has science, romance, and mystery all in one great book! I would recommend it to any girl because it is a great book that any girl would love. I wanted to keep reading because I wanted to know what happened to Emerson Watts if she would stay Nikki forever or become somebody else. At some parts of the book I felt worried for Em if she got herself into trouble, at other times I felt happy for her when her crush found out who she really was.

The main characters More...

This review assumes you have read the first two books in the series, as a result may contain information that could be viewed as spoilers.

Cabot ends her Airhead series on a strong note with Runaway. Having followed Em Watts through the catastrophic accident that turned her into Nikki Howard and then the subsequent changes made not only to Nikki’s life but the lives of those around her we get to the most action packed portion of the series. Filled with corporate espionage and a great b More...

This was the final book in Meg Cabot's Airhead trilogy. I had a lot of fun reading this trilogy. This wasn't my favorite book of the trilogy but it was still a good read. It was a good way to end the trilogy. I love happy endings.

Emerson is on the run...kind of. She was kind of kidnapped by Brandon. She ends up escaping pretty easily. This is the book where we find out what's been going on. Why was Emerson's brain was put into Nikki's body. What is Project Phoenix? Well, it's all pre More...

With this series, I thought the books lost something each time the next one came out. I loved the first book, it was hilarious and sweet. The second one wasn't as good, but I enjoyed it all the same. With Runaway, I was, instead of enjoying the book, annoyed at the main character for being so whiny. Not in the selfish ditz-y blonde kind of way (that was Nikki), but the 'Oh, why does everyone hate me I'm just trying to be nice...' kind of way. Em lost some of her charm in Runaway, and so did many More...

Man, I missed Meg! I was so excited to see what would happen in the final installment of this series, especially with the semi-cliffhangery ending of the 2nd book. It wasn't one of my favorite series by Cabot, not by far, but it held my interest, and I did keep reading, and I'm glad I did so. Right off the bat, my first thoughts before reading were a hope and a prayer that Meg would include Christopher through the whole book, instead of just bringing him in for a satisfying romantic conclusion, More...

Rebekah rated it: 2 of 5 stars
The book actually rather annoyed me. There is a lot of content I would classify as filler and it got tedious to read. For example:

Every time Em mentions her clothes while locked in Brandon's house, she has to refer back to how Brandon bought out a whole boutique of her size. EVERYTIME! So when Em brings up her clothes ten times in the first fifty pages, I get tired of the references. Because I've already read how she got the clothes, I don't need to be reminded EVERY TIME SHE MENTION More...

Title: Runaway

Author: Meg Cabot

Publisher: Point (Scholastic)

Cabot's books are known as some of the best YA chick lit out there. How To Be Popular was my first book of yours, and it’s combination cuteness and morality was hilarious and made for a great read. The only other book of hers I’ve read is Avalon High, which really was not her best moment in the literary world. So, I came into Runaway with a few concerns. As good as it sounded, stepping into a serie More...

This book is the third book in the Airhead series. It talks about a girl named Em (short for Emerson) who had to switch bodies with a superstar. Em learns how to deal with he new body, and her new lifestyle, but when she discovers a shocking secret about Nikki, the superstar she swoupt bodies with, she is confused and left thoughtless.

I enjoyed reading this book. It was very interesting to see how everyone changed from the second book from the series, to this book. It was suspensef More...

As Meg Cabot’s newest release “Runaway,” opens, we see that Em Watts is hiding, from the paparazzi, from her family, from her friends, and even from her own life. Forced into an unhappy partnership with her non-boyfriend (who just happens to be the power hungry son of her evil employer), Em is at her breaking point. Now she’s just waiting her time out, but the waiting is taking to look. She is, in fact, waiting for the live Stark Angel fashion show and for the real Nikki to stand up and revea More...

Em Watts is hiding. Even though she’s become more adept at dodging the paparazzi, she can’t keep running away from her family, friends, obligations, and most of all, herself. Forced into an unhappy alliance with her not-boyfriend who just happens to be the power hungry son of her evil employer, Em has just about had it. Now she’s just biding her time, waiting for the live Stark Angel fashion show and for the real Nikki to reveal what she found out about Stark Enterprises and what led to this who More...

You know when it's just one of those days, where everything goes wrong, and you just want to go to your room and cry? Most people would talk to friends, or distract themself. Well I read a Meg Cabot book. (: Her books are freiking AMAZING. This was the perfect conclusion to the Airhead novels. It's just as good as the other two; perhaps better. I'm going to miss Emerson Watts. Or should I say, Nikki.
I was surprised with who some of the characters ended up with. I mean, Gabriel Luna with Ni More...

I picked the Airhead CDs up at my library and have been listening to them for the past few weeks. I'll start off by saying the voice actor does a wonderful job with this series and it was a pleasure to listen to.

Meg Cabot, I'm beginning to think, is a bit of a genius. This series deals with Emerson Watts who while at a Stark Mega-store grand opening is hit on the head by a large plasma tv is resurrected into the body of Nikki Howard, a young super model who represents Stark enterpr More...

Book Two( Being Nikki(Airhead #2)) ended with Em Watts getting a nasty surprise. Like having your brain transplanted into the body of a beautiful but less-than-congenial supermodel wasn’t bad enough, Em discovered that Nikki Howards’ brain was very much functional and had been transplanted into the body of an average teenage girl. The original Nikki had overheard a secret about Stark Enterprises which had led to her so-called “accident”. To discover the secret and keep all the fugitives safe, Em More...

RUNAWAY surprised me. Usually, you have a real feeling for where a trilogy is going by the third book, and AIRHEAD and BEING NIKKI, though they definitely had their serious moments, struck me more as bubbly and frivolous. So I wasn’t prepared by just how deep RUNAWAY was and by how well it works as a social commentary (and warning?). I spent a couple hours discussing the ethics issues it brings up with Daniel (and yes, you do wish you could have been a fly on the wall for those conversations…the More...
