Maybe it's because I didn't read the first two books in this series but I found Runaway to be extremely confusing! I just couldn't follow it at all and it was really boring as well which is surprising because I like Meg Cabot's other books. If you do read this book, you absolutely need to read the first two in the series (Airhead and Being Nikki) before reading this one or you'll be totally lost, just like I was!

Emerson Watts is in a heap of trouble. Her brain's been transplanted inside Stark supermodel Nikki Howard's body, the love of her life might be mad at her, and she's being imprisoned by Brandon Stark, son of her employer, who wants Nikki's secret in order to trump his father. When they find out Nikki's secret, however, they are initially puzzled...until they slow begin to piece things together, and realize that they're holding a horrifying--and dangerous--secret in their hands. But with Stark Enterprises extremely willing to kill to maintain their secret, how will Em and her friends ever set things right? Will they be able to get their happily ever after?

At long last comes the final book in the AIRHEAD trilogy, and it closes this series with a satisfactory bang. Everything you love about Meg Cabot is here--the voice, the boys, the romance, the misunderstandings--and the ending is clever without being seeming overly plotted, shocking yet unforced.

As is typical of Meg Cabot's books, everything is wrapped up nicely without overexcessive drama and writing. Em's down-to-earth attitude paired with Cabot's usual "teen girl" voice provides for a great narrator. As this is the last of a trilogy, I have to say that the ending was good, if not, perhaps, worth getting through two books of mostly drivel to get to this point. It's shocking, it's smart, and it's totally plausible within the realm of Em's world.

The biggest problem that remains with me after reading this trilogy is that this could've easily been a one-book storyline, and RUNAWAY does give the impression that Cabot intentionally stretched it into a trilogy for financial reasons. Still, fans of the AIRHEAD series will love the way the plot develops throughout the course of these three books. If you've made it through BEING NIKKI, then you should definitely read RUNAWAY: it'll satisfy all your questions and leave you content.

Wow was this book the worst book Meg has EVER written. This book was way drawn out, very dull, very boring. The action sequences were all too fast at the end and the ending happened way too fast. She could have focused more on the ending instead of the beginning where she draws out Nikki and Brandon's feuding which was beyond annoying. I'm glad this series is over, it needed to end as all she was doing was dragging out the series for more money.

I don't know why I keep reading books in this series. It just fails to capture my attention. It took months to finish because I kept reading other, more interesting, books. Meg Cabot has much better series like the 1-800 or Mediator books.

Emerson Watts is on the run.

Everyone she loves is mad at her because of something she can't explain, and doesn't totally understand herself. All she has to look forward to is the Stark Angel fashion show on New Year's Eve.

Christopher has discovered something bad. Project Phoenix. And even though he isn't positive on what it is about, he has a feeling it has everything to do with Em.

I have enjoyed the AIRHEAD series so very much. I'm sad to see it come to an end, but this ending was great. This book was the kind that you hate to put down because you want so badly to know what is going to happen. The chemistry between Em and Christopher is fabulous. All of the characters have been interesting in their own special way, and you can see the changes in Em and especially the changes in Nikki.

The only problem I had with the book is the ending. It all happened so fast; almost too fast! But, overall, RUNAWAY was a wonderful ending to the AIRHEAD series, and if you haven't read both AIRHEAD and BEING NIKKI, you definitely should check them out!
