About this audiobook

“My name is Harriet Manners, and I have always been a geek.”

The fourth book in the award-winning GEEK GIRL series.

Harriet Manners knows many things.

She knows that toilet roll was invented by the Chinese in 600 AD.

She knows that a comet’s tail always points away from the sun.

And she knows that the average healthy heart beats 70 times per minute. Even when it’s broken.

But she knows nothing about making new friends at Sixth Form. Or why even her old friends seem to be avoiding her. And she knows even less about being a glittering supermodel success. Which she now is – apparently.

Has Harriet’s time to shine like a star finally arrived, or is she about to crash and burn?

    Love the character development in this book. Harriet is not dealing with other mode; the fashion industry is serving as a backdrop for Harriet transformation into a popular girl in her school. I don’t think that I will enjoy as Harriet’s behavior is alienating her best friends, but it surprised me!

    I think it was a really good book, I liked the story line, it is unique and special to every other story I have ever read. One of my favourite parts of the story is the message it tells you, is to open your eyes and remember everyone you have in your life, your amazing friends, a loving family and people that are always their for you even in the bad times because you shouldn't be looking for more friends to you should appreciate the ones you have already. This message helps me a lot in my everyday life as I find it hard to recognise the people that care for me. I thing I would improve on in the book is the amount of similes, for me their were to many similes in the story for my liking but the rest of the story I really liked.

    Initially I was opposed to Burrell's first book "A Royal Duty" as I assumed he was yet another person trying to cash in on the life and death of Diana, Princess of Wales. However after reading it I was proven wrong; he provides a unique, personal account of his time spent with Diana and allows the readers the opportunity to understand what this remarkable woman was like in her private life. Burrell's second book- The Way We Were- is what I had initially assumed the first one to be. There really is no reason other than financial gain as to why he wrote this book. His previous one provided the reader everything they needed and wanted to know about Diana. The Way We Were is nothing more than a cash grab and it's unfortunate that Burrell didn't stick with just his first book because after I read this one, my respect for him dropped dramatically. I recommend to anyone who wants to learn more about Diana to pick up a copy of A Royal Duty as it will provide you with everything and more that you are looking for. This book is much less detailed, repetitive, and pointless. Don't waste your time or money on this one.

    This is an inspiring book, it shows all of the struggles of acceptance amongst people and what people are willing to do just to get what they want. It also has some comedic moments which I much appreciated, and would recommend to anyone willing to listen.
