Having read "Airhead" the first book in the series I couldn't stop myself from wanting to know what happens next and decided to read "Being Nikki". Surprisingly it was more enjoyable than the previous one, as it did not suffer from the occasional trip down the memory lane which was in abundance in "Airhead". But still there is one thing I can't help commenting about and that is on the character of Nikki Howard/Emmerson Watts. She thinks too much. Of course it is the writing style followed throughout the book but then why should she be so redundant in her thoughts. For example whenever she comes across any boy who is slightly interested in her she goes on a reminiscence of her ex-best friend who is the only boy she is interested in and who having no idea about her identity hates her. When I first started reading this book I thought thank god this book doesn't start like all the other "part of a series" books that starts by recounting the events of the previous books but after reading further in to the book I realized a small recounting of events at the beginning was so much better than encountering them in every other chapter in the book. Least to say reading through this was extremely tiresome. Nevertheless the story was enjoyable and the characters though cliche leaves a lasting impression especially the character of Steven Howard.
