I also really don’t like how the Stark plotline gets barely mentioned. Em keeps saying that she’s not that kind of girl, that she can’t help the way Nikki’s body reacts whenever a boy touches her (do not get me started on this excuse) and she loves Christopher, totally! Em doesn’t do anything to dissuade this behavior, she just let the guys take advantage of her. She’s also very contradictory, especially when it comes to Brandon/Gabriel/Christopher/random boy she makes out with. However, I still had my frustrations and there’s a lot of the telling not showing going on in this book as well. And there’s a good scene with her and some other models joking before a rehearsal that I really liked. I like that she does support her little sister’s decision to become a cheerleader, and that she’s willing to find out what happened with Nikki’s and Steven’s mom. I loved that Steven knew something really fishy was going on and he wasn’t going to be fooled by anyone.Įm’s characterization gets a little better in this book, although not by much. (Lulu’s theories aside.) So, when Nikki’s brother Steven shows up and calls her out on the fact that Em’s not his real sister, I loved that. One of my biggest issues with the first book was that “Total amnesia does not exist in real life! Nor does it work that way!” and that Em had to screw up or not convince someone that she was really Nikki Howard. I kinda touched on the plot in my last review, but this is the book where the plot does improve. But then, nobody said it was going to be easy being Nikki.Book 2…not much better, I’m sad to say. Not to mention trying to convince the love of her life that models aren't really airheads after all.especially one model in particular. Johns - especially when she's got ex-boyfriends crawling out of the woodwork who want more than just a photo op a sister who is headed to the high school cheerleading championships a company she represents that seems to be turning to the dark side. How can Em balance all that with school, runway shows, and weekend jaunts to St. Because that supermodel could turn out to have a mother who's gone mysteriously missing, a brother who's shown up on her doorstep demanding answers, a former best friend who's intent on destroying Stark Enterprises to avenge the death of his lost love, and a British heartthrob who's written a song about her that's topping the charts. Em was sure there couldn't be anything worse than being a brainiac the body of a teenaged supermodel.
