Summary
Emerson Watts has never really cared about looks or fashion, even though she is surrounded by it at her New York prep school. She leaves that mostly up to her sister Frida who is obsessed with celebrities, especially the superhot teen model Nikki Howard. When she attends the grand opening of a superstore that Nikki Howard is scheduled to appear at, she winds up in a horrible freak accident that changes her life. When she wakes up in the hospital, she is not herself. Literally. She has been transplanted into the body of the beautiful Nikki Howard. Her life is changed forever. Suddenly Emerson is forced to view life as a supermodel first-hand. And it's not what she expected it to be.

Critique
Readers who enjoyed Cabot's other novels will love this one. It is a bit out there in terms of believability, but it doesn't disappoint.
