I went to see Holly Smale give a talk on this book and it inspired me to read it. Now I've read all three in the series and I'm looking forward to the next one coming out.
Believe it or not these books are actually based on something that happened to Holly Smale. Harriet is a great character, she's really easy to relate to. Geek Girl covers the trials and tribulations of a normal girl who becomes a model. She considers modelling as her metamorphosis from a geekish caterpillar to beautiful butterfly but it's not what she thinks it's going to be after all, it's only clothes!
I'd give it 4 and a half stars.
