I can't stop with this series but now I have to wait until the 26th to buy the third one and I am ridiculously impatient.
3.5 stars, rounded up.
This book was just so cute. Feel good, fluffy, fun, entertaining.
I just had a great time with it.
I love Harriet, she's so awkward and relatable. I wish I had this series back when I was a teenager.
I still get strong Georgia Nicolson vibes, only less mental and let's be real, a bit more intelligent (sorry Gee, you're still perfect how you are).
I even got a bit teary, with that ending, it was that CUTE

Well, what can I say! This book was a fantastic addition to book one, Geek Girl, with so much more mishaps and embarrassing situations than before. Harriet goes to Tokyo, Japan this time for a trip that'll certainly teach her some lessons.
I liked that this one had a bit of mystery to it, we had some moments when we didn't know who to trust and who to like. Somebody was attempting to get her kicked off the job she had going - and it was a great one at that! - so the drama was exciting. I had a guess at the start who it was and I was right but there was so much more stuff around it. I liked it a lot.
Harriet was still the same ol' Harriet, always acting before thinking or listening, so she obviously got into some scrapes. I think she messed up every single job she had apart from one (my favourite, it sounded beautiful) but that's what keeps for entertainment. I think this book was hilarous!
I still love the facts she's sprouting out, I think this book teaches me a lot more useless facts that I can tell people I know too, so thanks for making me the Geek now, Harriet.
I just love how Harriet teaches us all that it's okay to be different. She has the faults and insecurities that we've all had but that's okay. We're human. We can't be perfect. She's lovable and easy to get on with, if you like facts, and all she wants is to be happy, she wants to be with her family and friends and she's not comfortable with dolling up and parading round. She wants to be herself. Despite being a geek, she handles her situations as being her and I love that. Yes she meets these beautiful people and feels self-conscious but don't we all get that? I think we can all relate to her.
The stuff with Nick, I enjoyed that quite a bit. It didn't actually pan out how I thought, I expected a different reasoning behind what happened with them but still, I liked how Holly Smale wrote it. It was great. I like Nick quite a lot so I'm glad he wasn't made out as some kind of jerk. He actually reminds me of a few character's I've read before, so charming and down to earth (considering his job), and has a great sense of humour, aswell as being handsome.
The housemates, well Rin is certainly amazing. Her trying to speak in English and her kawaii personality (see, I'm now learning Japanese!), she was so easily lovable. I really hope she makes an appearance in the last book, which I'm sure she will. Poppy was sweet too! Until...well, I won't give anything away. It'll be interesting to see her in the next book two, it'll add to the drama.
Oh and my darling Willbur - with a bur not an iam - how I love thee. He always makes me smile when he makes an appearance in the book. His oh so kawaii nicknames for Harriet are so sweet and I wish someone could say things like that to me, no matter how random they are! It's funny. (using that word again, kawaii. Incase you don't know, it means cute)
Yuka was her scary self and I still have an undying love for Harriet's family. The dad is just....oh lordy, he's hilarious! I wish he was my dad - I think I said the same in the last review - he's just hilarious. This part summed it up.
Most of them wanted to know if I've arrived in Japan safely, and four of which want to remind me of what I'm missing.
1. You left a multipack of Mars Bar on top of your wardrobe. Can I have one? Dad x
2. I had three. Hope that's OK. Dad x
3. I'm just going to have one more. Dad x
4. Harriet, your Dad's made himself sick on an entire multipack of Mars Bars again. Please don't leave sweets where he can find them. A x
Brilliant. It's so random but I found that so funny. Mr Manners, you funny little bunny, you.
I'm so intrigued by Japan so reading a book set in Tokyo was just amazing, it's so interesting to see what Harriet was seeing. It's a completely different world! (well, not exactly, but you know what I mean), it's all incredibly different but it's a fascinating beautiful. Reading about all the weird and wonderful sights, the different people and how they live, it's very cool. If only more books were set in places like that. Or maybe more books that I tend to read. Harriet has a tendancy to hide under the table when she gets scared, it's brilliant how she couldn't do that when she went to Tokyo.
Anyway, Geek Girl so far is a really great and enjoyable read, you should give it a go. It's a one-sitting book (although it took me so long but I've been busy!), the characters are quirky, fun and relatable. Teenage problems and exotic places, fashion and friendships, love and hate, it's all going on in this.
Grab a copy, take a journey to Tokyo with Harriet and enjoy her embarrassing ways in the fashion world, you won't want to miss it. Very enjoyable.
I shall be definitely picking up book three, Geek Girl: Picture Perfect when I can!

Again another one sitting read. This series is just one of those books you pick up and fly through. Although at some parts I wasn't exactly captivated but for the most part it was entertaining.
Oh, really great sequel! So great, and I enjoyed it so much, and I can't wait to read more of the series!
LUUUUURVED IT!!
Harriet Manners is back, and she's just as hilarious.
Sprouting random facts and being a complete doofus.
You can't help but love her.
In this book she is travelling to Japan, meeting new people and trying not to think about Nick.
It seems someone is trying to sabotage Harriet's career though.
Who is it? And will Harriet last the whole time in Japan?
All will be found out if you read this book.
And I'm telling you to go read it!
It's hilarious, full of facts, and is just amazing.

Originally at The Secret Life of a Bookworm
*Received from publisher in exchange for an honest review*
Yet again, Holly Smale has written an extremely entertaining and hilarious book. Model Misfit was such a fantastic sequel to Geek Girl. I read Geek Girl in June this year and I really enjoyed it, so I couldn't wait to get my hands on the sequel. I think I picked up Model Misfit about a week after I received it from Netgalley. I just had to find out what was in store for Harriet in this one!
Model Misfit didn't disappoint. I found this one just as entertaining and geeky as the first book and I loved it. Harriet is having to deal with the fact that her perfect boyfriend broke up with her; her best friend is away for the summer which effectively ruins her plans and she's also trying to figure out where she'll fit in when the new baby arrives. But then she gets a call from Wilbur about modelling in Tokyo and Harriet couldn't be happier. She feels like she's unwanted in her house and just wants to get away for the summer.
I love Harriet so much. She's such a hilarious character. She's geeky, funny, smart and extremely clumsy. There were times when I was laughing my ass off because of things that Harriet had done. She just makes me laugh so much and she's such a likable character.
Nick was on my bad side at the start of this book (which wasn't really his fault). I couldn't ignore how hilarious he was though. He was still that cocky guy from the first book that I loved. He was still helping Harriet and still made my heart melt.
Harriet's friends are one of my favourite parts of this series too. Even though Harriet and Nat are like polar opposites, their bond is unbreakable. Nat is so protective of Harriet. And then there's Toby. I adore Toby, and I loved him even more in this book. He's so hilarious and cute.
I loved meeting Harriet's grandmother in this book. She's so eccentric and free! I loved seeing Wilbur again too, he never fails to make me laugh with some of the stuff he comes out with.
So Harriet was in Tokyo for the summer living in a flat with two other models - Poppy and Rin. I never felt much of an attachment to Poppy, but I adored Rin. Her English wasn't perfect so some of the things she came out with made no sense and were hilarious. But she was such a genuinely nice character. Harriet's modelling jobs weren't running as smoothly as the usually do (well, as smooth as they get with Harriet), and she starts to wonder if someone is messing with her on purpose.
The ending of this book was so heartwarming and adorable. I loved every single second of this book and I could probably read about Harriet forever because she's amazing.
Overall, this was a fantastic sequel to Geek Girl. I absolutely love this series. It's hilarious and adorable and definitely one I recommend.
