But just as a recptionist, where she meets Bruce, and starts to fall in love for him. But then he actually steals her designs claiming they're his. Tough as she is, she finds another job at a place called "Beneath the Sheets". She's not sure of it, but finds out that Lola is a great friend, and she soon starts to make some of the customer's nighties. Meanwhile, her best friend back home Celia, is pregnant, and having a few complications, but managing. And she still hasn't talked to her dad. Then there's Vin, whose been nothing but there for her. Will she ever realize it, and will she figure it out with her dad and become the big fashion designer she's always wanted to be? I love it. It was kinda different than the others because she already graduated high school. I like how it's in New York and the little phases you can go through by what atmosphere you're in. It's really genuine.Thursday, June 11, 2009

But she gets her best friend, who she secretly has more feelings for, Christopher, to come with. There's some new artist Gabriel Luna who Frida is dying to get an autographed cd for. But then all of a sudden the supermodel Nikki Howard comes walking by and one of the protestors shoots a tv, which is about to fall on Frida, so Emerson dives and then all she sees is black. And being sleepy for a long time. And her voice is sounding different, and then she discovers she's Nikki Howard. WHAT! Emerson's brain has been put in Nikki Howard's body, and now she's gonna have to live like Nikki did, along with her best friend Lulu and her on again off again boyfriend Brandon Stark. But it's not easy, especially when she's trying to get Christopher to see that it's really her, and she wants it to be like old times. Awww it's so sad how she loves Christopher so much but can't tell her secret. It must be very weird to be in someone else's body but be yourself still. I loved it. Meg Cabot is amazing. I can't wait to read Being Nikki. I really wanna know how it's gonnna play out with Christopher!Monday, June 8, 2009
Left Behind by Tim LaHaye and Jerry B. Jenkins
Rayford is a pilot flying a plan to London. Buck is a passenger on the plane who happens to be an amazing writer for Global Weekly. Ray has a wife and two kids back at home. But he's been flirting with Hattie. And he's thinking of maybe making a move on her when she comes in hysterical and says tons of people have just disappeared. He goes out to see and it's true. Over half the plane is missing, and all their clothes are neatly stacked where they once were. They call in and find out this is happening everywhere. And in the book, it follows Rayford and Buck whose paths come together at the end. Rayford's wife and son Ray jr are gone, but his daughter Chloe is still with him. Rayford doesn't know what's going on, but thinks it might have been what his wife Irene was always talking about, how God took everyone. And he slowly starts to believe it, and tries to convince Chloe it believe too. while Buck is trying to write a story in this new guy, Nicolae Carpathia, who has become the president of the UN. He has this demeanor and greatness about him that has everyone sucked into his beliefs. But there is supposed to be an Antichrist, and Rayford along with the pastor left behind Bruce believe it to be true. These are the lives of the people who were left behind. Wow, this was an intense, awestruck book. Both of the lives it follows was interesting, although some parts in Buck's story were a little confusing. It just made you get sucked in, and it's not some little thing like teen books with drama, but having to do with all these people gone and how the rest of these people are coping and with the Antichrist and everything. It is a work of art for sure.
