I would have liked this better if Em had stopped being Too Stupid To Live before the last twenty pages of the book.
The ending was a cop-out. While Em did help finally bring down Stark, it was almost by accident. Em is supposed to be a smart girl; I didn't see much evidence of that in this story. While she was the narrator, she played more the role of plot point than protagonist. ( )

A fun end to the series, the first book is still my favorite though. ( )

In the final chapter of Em's journey, we finally find out the final plan Stark Industries has in mind, and let me tell you, I found it creepy. That being said, the premiss of the plain jane who has to adjust to being cinderella still works. The fact that her best friend can hack into the mainframe of a major global corporation strains credibility, but then again, this is the book that's entire plot is based on the idea of a brain transplant. ( )

I had some doubts going into this with the way book 2 set everything up, but I should know better than to doubt Meg Cabot, because this was a fantastic finale. Everything is brought into a close and while I don’t know if we can call it a “happy ending,” I was very satisfied with the ending all around.

I especially love how Cabot is able to write books with female characters who are complex and love makeup and fashion while also being super smart and resourceful. She turns the “ditzy, pretty girl” stereotype on its head, and I am so here for that. It’s hard to say much without spoiling the series, but I really liked it! It ends well and I think the overall story is incredibly enjoyable and well worth reading. They’re quick, easy-to-read books that pack some serious action and thriller elements.

Good conclusion! I liked this much better than book 2. This is like the Original Get Out haha. Em, Lulu, Nikki, and Frida were total badasses and I loved it! Meg Cabot is so great about writing strong female characters who can save the day, it makes me so happy. This book was a quick read; the plot moved quickly and there was a lot going on to keep my interest. I'm glad everyone paired up and got their happy ending. The concept is pretty cool and I wonder how long until scientists and doctors can do an actual brain transplant? Maybe they already can... dun dun dun! ( )
