Nicola Lancaster is spending her summer at the Siegel Institute - a hothouse of smart, articulate, intense teenagers living like college students for eight weeks. Nic's had theatre friends and ochestra friends, but never just friend friends. And she's certainly never had a relationship.But on the very first day, she falls in with Katrina the Manic Computer Chick, Isaac the Nice-Guy-Despite-Himself, Kevin the Inarticulate Composer... and Battle.
Battle Hall Davies is a beautiful blond dancer from North Carolina. She's everything Nic isn't. Soon the two are friends - and then, startlingly, more than friends. What do you do when you think you're attracted to guys, and then you meet a girl who steals your heart?

I have no idea what Nic supposedly did wrong. Hell, I over-analyze all the time! What's wrong with it? NOTHING. She was just asking a damn question, Battle! Shut your damn mouth!Sorry. Sometimes I become somewhat of an advocate for certain book characters.3.5 starsI think I might be getting a little old for YA. I mean, I'm a young adult. But I'm not a Young Adult . So that's probably why I didn't like this as much as I may have a couple years ago.The characters were rather bland and generic but still moderately likable. Also, pretty sure Battle Hall Davies was a precursor to John Green's "mysterious" female love interests.The dialogue flowed well and it was at least interesting enough to make me read a majority of it in one sitting. I kept
It was an enjoyable read, but it didn't have much of a plot. There really wasn't a whole lot going on in this one. It was interesting and was easy to sit and read almost cover to cover, but at the end I felt like nothing was ever accomplished.There were a few story threads I was invested in which were just never followed up on or resolved. This was rather disappointing.
This book was a lot better than I anticipated. The summer college program is represented well and I think would make most kids want to attend one. I also like the lack of certainty in the characters - very believable. The plot moves really quick (a little too quick for me) but at the right pace for student readers who are likely to become board.I read this book in one night & didn't really put it down! It's a great little love story and the sequel should be good. Nic is a girl who I
A lot of things from this book connected and resonated with me, a 22-year-old: 1. I'll start with the fact that Nic and I's names are similar, and the girl I've had a long-term crush on also has a name that starts with B. So yeah, I consider that a big deal to me.2. Nic placed Battle on a pedestal (naming her the "Empress of the World") the same way I did to my crush.3. Nic has an obssession with trying to analyze explain everything because of her nature as an aspiring archaeologist. I do a
I read this book in nearly a day. It has won various prizes in young adults category and reading it I can understand why. If you are a teenage and looking for a romance suited for your age then definitely go for it. I'm not teen aged any more but can realise the appeal that this book can have for this very delicate age group. It is simple and straight forward where everything is all or nothing. Everything revolves around a particular event. Everything is Important. Yes there is tomorrow or the
I guess it's important to start by noting that this book was revolutionary at the time it was written. There are still woefully few books starring a bisexual protagonist, especially in the YA market. Empress of the World was written at a time when female/female romances usually ended in death and was bold enough to present a realistic romantic fling between two teenage girls.However, reading this novel 15 years later, it's not fantastic. There are some things about it that I really liked. Nic is
