Books like Runaway (Airhead #3) by Meg Cabot
Emerson Watts has long served as the right-hand girl to pop star Nikki, but the glamorous life leaves her feeling trapped and unfulfilled. As she faces criticism from every angle—school, work, family, and friends—Em brings home the harsh truth that privilege does not guarantee happiness. While the high‑profile Stark Angel fashion show on New Year’s Eve offers a fleeting reprieve, she is constantly on the move, dodging not just paparazzi but also the increasingly dangerous forces that seek to protect Nikki’s image. With Nikki’s hidden agendas threatening to unravel everything, Em confronts her own identity and must choose between keeping on the run or exposing the truth, even if it costs her safety and the fragile bonds she has built.
