The plot seemed very laboured throughout both books. It was certainly the right thing to be writing about, when tweens and young teens are the target audience, but I still think appearance was being valued more than skill. Meg Cabot makes small headway to right this in ‘Runaway’, with the message that all girls are beautiful, and that beauty shouldn’t be the quality most desired by teenage girls. In my review of ‘Airhead’, I talked of how I was uncomfortable with the portrayal of girls just using their looks to interest guys, and the confused feminist messages that were coming across.
Having already made a post on ‘ Airhead‘, the first book in the series, I thought it was best to review the rest of the books, however, I feel like I don’t really have a lot to say for the books, because the plot was very thin, so, this will be a culmination of my thoughts on both ‘Being Nikki’ and ‘Runaway’.
