I swear on my Oxford English Dictionary...
I'm a model because...
1. It's Monday morning, and I'm wearing a gold tutu, a gold jacket, gold ballet pumps and gold earrings. My face is painted gold, and a long piece of gold wire has been wrapped around my head. This is not how I normally dress on Mondays.
...
4. Every time I take a bite of doughnut to keep my strength up everybody breathes in sharply as if I've just bent down and given the floor a quick lick.
Just a flavour... Harriet is as hilarious & informative as ever. I love the Tokyo setting in this book too.
Geek Girl is Kawaiiii.

I have been looking for this book for ages, I had almost decided to just buy it online but then relized that I could have one look at my local library and there it was. I'm so glad I finally got to read this book, I cant believe it took me so long after reading the first one to find the next. I read this book in under two days, reading 190 pages in under two hours on day one and then finishing it exactly 24 hours after starting this book.

I got this book from my boyfriend for my birthday. :) Really happy with it!
This book was even better than book 1. It has more modelling mishaps, more mistaken things, and of course a mystery!
I loved Harriet, I loved her geekiness, though at times it got a little bit annoying with all the facts. At times I was like: Is there anything else she can do besides fact ranting? What is she? Google?
But at other times I was cheering for her, when her modelling didn't work out, when things did go wrong, and with her and her (ex)-boyfriend).
I really despised Poppy, and also Yuka (though that lessened at the end). But Poppy, urgh, typical I-want-everything-and-I-will-get-everything princess type. Though this is all mostly based on what happens later. At the beginning she was all nice and friendly and I really was hoping that Harriet would find a new friend.
And then we have Rin, oh Rin, how much I laughed when you tried to say something and it sounded so off. Hampshire = Hamsters, Goats=Gods and so on, I really had a wonderful time reading about Rin, and I do hope we will see her more in the other books. I really loved that she named her cat Kylie Minogue! You can see how badly she wants to learn English and live in Australia.
The modelling parts were really fun, I loved all the new challenges Harriet had to face, and how hard she did her best.
I can't wait for the next book, America! Soooo excited, since I am sure Harriet will do fine, after all while she herself doesn't know it, she is talented in modelling.

slightly better than the first book. Highly predictable but so cute and fluffy so still on the same level :-) A fun series to just relax with and not have a care in the world.
