Geek Girl
Geek Girl | Holly Smale
My name is Harriet Manners and I am a geek. Ages:12+Harriet Manners knows that a cat has 32 muscles in each ear, a jiffy lasts 1/100th of a second, and the average person laughs 15 times per day. She knows that bats always turn left when exiting a cave and that peanuts are one of the ingredients of dynamite. But she doesn't know why nobody at school seems to like her. So when Harriet is spotted by a top model agent, she grabs the chance to reinvent herself. Even if it means stealing her best friend's dream, incurring the wrath of her arch enemy Alexa, and repeatedly humiliating herself in front of impossibly handsome model Nick. Even if it means lying to the people she loves. Veering from one couture disaster to the next with the help of her overly enthusiastic father and her uber-geeky stalker, Toby, Harriet begins to realise that the world of fashion doesn't seem to like her any more than the real world did. As her old life starts to fall apart, will Harriet be able to transform herself before she ruins everything?

1. Warm and sunny! It's been about 18°C which I know is nothing compared to some places, but it's hot for where I live ☀️
2. Tent all the way - I've never camped in anything other than a tent ⛺
I'm not sure I would really choose to be her, however I do relate to Harriet Manner's social awkwardness in Geek Girl 😶
4. Sleep in and have a lazy morning usually! And when I say sleep in, it's usually only around 9 am but still! 🌸

Today was not a brilliant reading day....

I bailed on Emma (see previous post)
I started reading my set text instead (that didn't last long!)
I tried All The What Ifs as I had it on my Kindle. I didn't like the style of writing so I gave up on that pretty quickly.

I ended up reading Geek Girl for the 5th time instead - I can always rely on that to make me laugh 😂

This is genuinely the funniest book I have read in a long time - and I've probably read it 5 times this year alone 😂 It's a really good light hearted and easy to read book 😊

Klou My younger sister is on the third book in this series and loves it. I'll definitely be borrowing her books at some point to give these a read. 6y

4/5 ⭐

One month ago, my little sister gave me the series to read. And I am delighted she did.

A story about geeky Harriet, and how she becomes a model - the weirdest one.

A funny, geeky read, I couldn't stop giggling. A perfect book for the teens, and a perfect relaxation for the adults.

Read my full review on my blog or Goodreads.

I liked this book in theory... The plot is light and amusing, the main character smart (though almost impossibly awkward), the writing fun... my problem is Harriet's father. I don't think I have ever read a more immature, ridiculous, poor caricature of a person. He was so jarring that I'm not sure I'll bother reading the otter books in the series.

#raisingreaders love seeing this little face stuck in a book....even if it is after midnight on a school night! She's like her mum and manages on very little sleep 💕📚

AlaMich What, no flashlight under the covers! She's doing it wrong!! 😉 7y
DeborahSmall @AlaMich I know! She can't understand why I had to do that as a child. I told her we had such a thing as bedtime when I was her age! She's lucky to be able to function on 7 hours sleep a night and all day actually, since she was 18 months. She never had an afternoon nap like the boys. Crazy child 7y

I really did not like this at all. Which is rare for me - I usually take pleasure in finding some redeeming feature, however small, in even the most woeful examples of tedious tosh.

This had none. Weak characters, cringey humour and clichés a go-go. Yes, I am a good 30 years too old for it (if such a concept exists) but when my daughter is 11 I hope she's reading something more rewarding than this.

Really not for me. 🦃🦃🦃🦃

With the caveat 'I am not this book's intended readership' I have to say that, so far, I have found this fluffy and a little silly. I've never been a bailer - could this book have the honour of changing all that?

There are lots of books out there with awesome covers - I'm trying to think which spines especially stand out, though. The Geek Girl series are definitely amongst my favourites! (Photo taken at Tales on Moon Lane) #getindie

This is such a cute novel. I love that the main character is trying to discover who she is as a person and what she wants. I think every girl should read his book. It is fantastic and fun. Find me on Twitter or Instagram @love2dazzle
