Let me just start this by saying I am NOT a Meg Cabot fan. So I went into this with a bias – but hoping that I would be proved wrong.
Emerson Watts is a “feminist” – she doesn’t dress like a girl, she doesn’t wear makeup and she plays video games every chance she gets.
Nikki Howard is a “model” – she’s tall, skinny, and not very bright. She is loved by every guy who sees her.
Nikki is the new face of Stark Enterprises and everything Emerson sees as what’s wrong with society.
*****SPOILER ALERT*****
Emerson has to take her younger sister Frida – a Nikki Howard fan – to a grand opening ceremony of a new Stark Enterprises megastore. They are there to see Stark;s new singer, Gabriel Luna but they see Nikki walking through the store. Frida chases after Nikki to get her autograph and almost has a television fall on her head. The only thing that saves her – is Emerson.
When Emerson comes to, she finds out that her brain has been transplanted into Nikki Howard’s body.
*****END SPOILER*****
Looks vs. Brains? Can you have both? Does our society put a premium on what’s on the outside or what’s on the inside?
