Cameron's is still working on her honesty, with little progress. She starts to consider a break from the new personality when she says: "For one afternoon, I need to escape it all" (125). Her friendships start to grow in conflict, since her plan has caused most of it. I like reading about her character development, but she hasn't fully taken responsibility. I think this plan might backfire on her in the end.

Cameron Bright is a well known girl at her school, who is also known for being very honest. She never knew she was being rude; "I'm not mean. I'm just honest" (120). Her boyfriend Andrew decides to break up with her for being to harsh. She decides to change her reputation to win him back. By apologizing to people she wronged in the past. I think she will learn that being kind will help her more than being rude.

Andy has grown into her job at Runway but has given up her personal life. Her boyfriend Alex feels neglected saying: "You're never here anymore, Your always working"(236). I am frustrated that Miranda doesn't give Andy any praise or gratitude for all of her hard work towards the impossible tasks. I think Alex is going to make Andy choose between him or keeping her job at Runway and that she will face many obstacles.

In the book "The Devil Wears Prada", Andy Sachs has started her job as an assistant at Runway. Miranda, her boss, gives her impossible demands that test Andy's patience and willingness for her dream job. Miranda always ends her demands with a comment like: "A million girls would kills for this job" (Weisberger 12). I am confused why Andy hasn't quit yet, but I predict Andy will change who she is to hold onto her job.

Millie has become more familiar with her neighborhood especially her next door neighbors. The first two books are starting to intertwine and reveal a new plot; “Cecelia!” Enzo cries. The second he says her name, I know exactly who this girl is: Cecelia Winchester. I used to sort of be her nanny a while ago”(232). I love the reuse of characters. I think more characters from old books will continue to show up.

Millie has moved on from her career as a maid and now has a family of her own. After moving into her new house, she quickly falls in love with the neighborhood. Then, Millie starts to suspect that someone is watching them, as the once-perfect neighborhood is becoming a nightmare. Millie's family starts to worry: "I wonder if I have made a huge mistake moving here" (17). I think her neighbors are hiding a huge secret.

In this next section, the conflict begins to escalate. Millie agrees to help Wendy escape from Douglas. She agrees immediately after Wendy asks, saying, "Of course! I mean it" (115). It turns out that Douglas has been hurting her behind closed doors. Currently they are driving to Albany. In the next section, I think Wendy will get caught sneaking out and will then be punished by her husband, Douglas.

Millie is a maid who has just been hired to work for a rich man named Douglas Garrick. Once she starts working for Douglas Garrick, she quickly realizes there is something wrong, since he keeps his wife, Wendy, hidden in a room upstairs. “I don’t know what it is, but there’s something about that apartment that makes me uneasy” (44). I think Wendy is getting hurt by Douglas, and Millie is going to help her escape.
