SYNOPSIS: My name is Harriet Manners and I’ll be a geek forever… Harriet Manners knows almost every fact there is. Modelling isn’t a sure-fire route to popularity. Neither is making endless lists. The people you love don’t expect you to transform into someone else. Statistically, you are more likely to not meet your Australian ex-boyfriend in Australia than bump into him there. So on the trip of a lifetime Down Under Harriet’s to-do lists are gone and it’s Nat’s time to shine! Yet with nearly-not-quite-boyfriend Jasper back home, Harriet’s completely unprepared to see supermodel ex Nick. Is the fashion world about to turn ugly for GEEK GIRL? It’s time for Harriet to face the future. Time to work out where her heart lies. To learn how to let go… Link to my review of the rest of the series here!
Rating: 5/5 I could keep this review very short: I LOVED THIS! This book was the perfect ending to the series, and I loved seeing all these familiar faces again. I'm really going to miss this series and Harriet. She did things that made me sigh a lot, but she's just so lovable and kind hearted. She's just doing her best! I've said before that only two books have ever made me cry: the last Harry Potter book and On the Spectrum by Jennifer Gold (review here), but this book is the first one that had me full on sobbing so much I had a hard time reading through my tears. Seriously, if you've read this book you'll know which part I mean. The ending had me a tiny bit disappointed, but that's all I'm going to say about that! No spoilers! ;) The book was a bit lacking in modelling content, but at this point I was mostly just reading this series because I loved the characters and I wanted to know Harriet's story, so that was fine by me. Harriet really grew a lot over the course of these six books and I'm very proud of her, even though she's just a book character and not real. I can still be proud of her. Her character development was very gradual and well-written so that I didn't even realise how much she'd changed until she realised it herself in this book and looked back on things she did in earlier books. Kudos to you Holly Smale for writing such good character development. It was like watching Harriet grow up right in front of my eyes. Toby in the background also grew a lot as a character, from a creepy stalker to a good friend living his own life. He annoyed me at the start of this series, but I've come to like him much more now. Also Nat. I will always love Nat. She's the kind of friend everyone should have. She's always there for Harriet, no matter how many times she messes up. I would really recommend this series to everyone as it's a super enjoyable read and is honestly one of my favourite series ever!
