  Did you ever wish you could be someone else? Maybe someone rich and famous. Em watts gets to be someone rich and famous. However, Em didn't want to be someone else. She just wanted to be herself. That's kinda hard to do when your brain is in someone else’s body. Especially, if that person is a super model. This book is called being Nikki by Meg Cabot. It is the second book in a series of three books. I highly recommend this book because it is an awesome book and not one part of it is boring.   When Em Watts gets crushed by a falling plasma TV she almost dies. Her parents would have done anything to save her and they did. As a result, when Stark enterprise offers to put her brain in Nikki Howard’s body they agree. The only condition is that Nikki/Em has to go on being the face of Stark. Most girls would have loved to have that happen because Nikki is so rich and famous. Em didn’t like it; she wanted to be herself. To try to do that she decides that she will go back to her old school. Things are going okay until Nikki’s brother shows up and tells her that Nikki’s mom is missing. They think that Stark enterprise is responsible for it. The plot makes it a good book because it is a thrilling and fascinating plot that isn't used over and over again in books like some plots are.  What I liked about Em Watts is that she wants to be a normal girl. She doesn't do idiotic things like most people would do if they got their brain transplanted into a super model's body. To do that she decides that she is going to go back to school so she can have a good job for when she is to old to be a model. Another main character that I like is Lulu. I like her because she is funny nice and a little bit weird. An example of how she is weird/funny is that in the beginning of the book she thought that Em and Nikki had a spirit transplant. I think that is funny/weird. Another main character is Steven. He is Nikki's brother. What I like about him is that he is very caring. He left the military just to find his mom and sister. He doesn't even like the real Nikki because she is mean to him.  I really enjoy this book because the setting makes it spectacular. This book would not work in any other place than in New York. This is because most super models live in New York. For instance, it has to be a packed place with lots of people for the theme to work. If it wasn't a crowded place then Em would never have been able to see her family because people would notice her walking in and out of there apartment building. The last reason why New York is perfect is because since she is a super model she has to have big important places to model for and there are lots of places like that in New York.  So you should really really read this book because it is very enjoyable to read. Also, it's setting is perfect. Finally you should read this book because the characters and there attitudes are perfect for this book.
