What?

Emerson Watts is on the run: from school, from work, from her family, from her friends, from herself.

With everyone she loves furious with her for something she can't explain, and nothing but the live Stark Angel fashion show on New Year's Eve to look forward to, Em's reached the end of her rope. . .what's the point of even going on?

But when she discovers the truth about Nikki's secret, she knows there's only one person she can turn to.


Emerson Watts is on the run: from school, from work, from her family, from her friends, from herself.

With everyone she loves furious with her for something she can't explain, and nothing but the live Stark Angel fashion show on New Year's Eve to look forward to, Em's reached the end of her rope. . .what's the point of even going on?

But when she discovers the truth about Nikki's secret, she knows there's only one person she can turn to.

Will Christopher be able to put aside his personal feelings and help her expose her employer to the world? Is it even fair to get Christopher involved--since if he agrees, there's every chance that Stark Enterprises will try to have them both killed--this time, permanently?

Maybe it would be better for Em to just keep on running.

My Thoughts:

I'm not going to lie to you I thought Being Nikki was going to be the last book in the series and then with 20 pages left Cabot went and created a new problem. I was so exited to read Runaway, and was satisfied with where Cabot took it. Em progressively became stronger throughout the books as she became more comfortable with her new body she also became more comfortable with herself. I loved that aspect to her character. Most novels portray the pretty popular girls as stuck up, but in Runaway the pretty girl is shy and just trying to survivie. The end of Runaway satisfied me much more than the end of Being Nikki. I felt a sense of relief because the tension of the climax was over. I really enjoted this series, especially Runaway.
