Geek Girl by Holly Smale

Geek Girl (Geek Girl, #1)

by Holly Smale

Now a major Netflix series!

“My name is Harriet Manners, and I am a geek.”

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.

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.

As her old life starts to fall apart, will Harriet be able to transform herself before she ruins everything?

The first book in the Geek Girl series, now a live-action Netflix series.

I really enjoyed going into Harriet’s world. Being a loner at school with just one friend and a stalker is not much fun even if you are very intelligent, people just don’t understand Harriet the way Nat her best friend, her Dad and Step mum do. She is different and so that means she is easy picking when it comes to the popular crowd finding someone to pick on.

This books opens up to a whole new world for Harriet and it is fantastic, the humour is brilliant and I was giggling quite often reading it. There are also things that come out towards the end of the book that leave you wanting to read the next book straight away to see how things develop.

I really liked it.
