![]() Harriet is a great protagonist, and despite the fact that hardly any of us were recruited as models when we were 15, she is relatable. Smale's descriptions and her characters are so lively that I felt like I knew what was going on immediately. I confess, I haven't read the first book in this series, so I was a little worried I'd be completely lost. So what better plan for the summer than to go to Tokyo to model for a new line by terrifying designer Yuka Ito? There, Harriet makes friends, encounters her ex-boyfriend and finds that she just can't get a break when it comes to modelling. Harriet Manners has just finished her exams, her ex-boyfriend has texted her, her parents are obsessed with the impending birth of Harriet's new sibling, and Harriet still only has one best friend (and a friendly, harmless stalker). Humans have 70,000 thoughts per day, it takes 30 minutes for a human body to produce enough heat to boil half a gallon of water and the human brain consists of 80 per cent water are just some of the gems dotted amongst this YA read. ![]() I love a fact, and Holly Smale's Model Misfit, the second book in her Geek Girl series, is full of them. ![]()
