Geek Girl is one of my favourite series and I've always heralded 'Model Misfit', the second book, as the best. 'Head Over Heels' is JUST as good. The series is definitely getting better, and I can't believe how much Harriet has grown over the course of five books.
'Head Over Heels' is all about Harriet having a friendship group. It's lovely to see her surrounded by people who care about her, but friendship has its ups and downs and Harriet's struggle to make things perfect is really visible.

Holy Moley, Guacamole! It being past midnight, might give you a clue of how ridiculously fangirlish this review is going to be. I'm sorry, but I'm not, because it's totally called for! SUGAR COOKIES, THIS BOOK WAS AMAZING!

Holly Smale back at it again with the five star reads. Head Over Heels was absolutely everything I wanted from the fifth instalment in the Geek Girl series. It had CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT - finally Harriet is maturing! BUDDING ROMANCE - it seriously couldn't get any better than this. FRIENDSHIP DRAMA - Harriet finally has more friends! BUNTY - enough said. EXOTIC DESTINATIONS - I seriously love how Harriet's modelling has taken her all over the world, because it means we're bombarded with a ton of

5 Words: Friendship, family, modelling, loyalty, humour.
The warm fuzzies just came and smacked my across the head as I finished this book. So many POSSIBILITIES. And I can't wait for the next book, however long that wait may be. I could happily keep reading about Harriet forever.
This was, as always, a super quick read for me. There's something about the Geek Girl books that just sucks me right in, I can't NOT devour them.

I received an Advance Reader Copy from the publisher via NetGalley. This in no way impacted on my view.
In Head over Heels, Harriet has accepted that the model life just isn't for her. She's very happy just studying her A Levels, with her new group of friends: Nat, Toby, Jasper, and India. The five of them are the best of friends, and Harriet doesn't need anything to disrupt this. Obviously, something does. She gets a phone call, out of the blue, from Wilbur, who has started his own modelling age ...more

this book was predictable and set up things for the next book that I can already say with certainty I've correctly predicted despite not having started it and Harriet is starting to get really annoying as a character to be quite honest ((view spoiler))

I am a HUGE fan of the Geek Girl series, so I was ridiculously excited to receive a review copy of the latest installment. I will also admit that a lot of things got abandoned for me to read this...books, cleaning, cooking, you get the picture.

I absolutely LOVED the next installment to the Geek Girl series! Harriet is hilarious, and I'm completely loving her story. This one is my favourite so far!

This is the first in the series that I have read, and I have to say I found it a warm hearted and engaging read. With Harriet travelling around the globe, you are never short of interesting and unusual information about the countries she is in, which I really loved. Harriet is blessed with a great family and good friends to anchor her. She experiences romance in her life to up the excitement stakes! More than anything else though, I think Harriet is brimful of personality. An absorbing and enter

Yes I absolutely love this series, and I'm not ashamed to admit it, and Head Over Heels, is no exception, in fact I think they get better and better each book, as the story progresses.

This review is of both Head Over Heels and Sunny Side Up.
Oh, what fun it is to see Harriet Manners again! Every time I pick up a new Geek Girl story, I'm transported to a happy place.
Head Over Heels is the fifth book in the series the perfect mix of modelling and the equally as eventful world of Harriet Manners. Team JINTH (Jasper, India, Nat, Toby and Harriet) have it down: they frequently meet at their favourite coffee shop (and have allocated seats) and have pre-planned sleepovers (Harriet ha ...more

YES PLEASEEE! A MILLION STARS TO HEAD OVER HEELS!
I absolutely LOVED this one, it is definitely my favourite in the series so far. The character development that Harriet went through in the last four books was SO BEAUTIFULLY PORTRAYED in this one.. and still Harriet never feels out of character.
This was also by far my favourite modeling adventure. I will never get these pictures out of my head cause I could imagine the situations so vividly. Just absolutely beautiful. I am just so happy and fille ...more

One of the things that made me like Harriet is that she’s so relatable and awkward that sometimes I do feel for her, when I’m not too busy laughing as I read. In Head Over Heels, I realised how far Harriet has come since she was discovered as a model under a table and now, she’s grown so much and it’s given me an extreme sense of nostalgia for this geek girl. ...more

I’ve been trying to write this review on Head Over Heels since I first read it in April but for some reason I’ve really struggled to find the words. I’ve sat down a few times and I’m still mixed with different feelings. Even now as I write this review I’m still not 100% sure on how I feel so bear with me. I adore Harriet. I adore the series and I’m always so eager to get the next book and start it straight away and Head Over Heels was no different. However, I couldn’t help but feel a little disa

I find it really hard to review books which are several in in a series. I can never gauge what to say which isn't going to spoil the book but also be helpful.
Therefore I'll say this. Head over Heels was another fun Harriet story which I really enjoyed. She's as quirky as always but you can see that she's finally starting to grow up a bit in this book which I enjoyed seeing. I'm really looking forward to seeing what this will mean for the next books in the series.

I seriously cannot get over how much Harriet has grown as a person over the course of this series. She feels so very real; I've never experienced a character come to life like this before. Oh, and the fashion shoots are super amazing too, obviously.

Geek girl is such a pick-me-up series! Its funny, geeky, charming and adorable and Harriet is a precious pumpkin controlfreak! I love it!
*I received an ARC through Netgalley in exchange for a review*
I adore reading Harriet's stories. They are always full of random knowledge, awkward yet endearing situations and things that make me giggle out loud despite being a lot older than the intended audience.
Harriet is always well intentioned, if not a little self absorbed, fairly typical for a teenager really. This carries on into the 5th instalment of her story. After visits to Japan, Russia, Marrakesh and America I was intrigued to see ...more

And she’s back again with her never-ending knowledge, beauty, lists and meddling/modelling? Come on this is Harriet Manners we’re talking about here, I’m so allowed to not know what one to put anymore.
For me, unfortunately, Head Over Heels is my least favourite book out of the Geek Girl series so far. I’m not saying it’s not good or anything because it actually really is, I enjoyed it a lot.

I'd forgotten how great these books were and I ended up finishing this in a day. I loved the writing style, the short chapters and enjoyed the plot of this novel.
Harriet did get irritating at times and I actually found Annabel to be a constant source of annoyance. I was getting quite tired of her constantly dumping all the responsibilities on Harriet to go off and do things that I didn't consider to be important at all.

I have always been a fan of the Geek Girl books and usually read them as soon as they came out, this one has been on my shelf for quite a few months but I never had time to pick it up. However last week I was going out somewhere and I knew I would be sitting around waiting for a while so I popped this in my bag to help me pass the time. I knew I needed a light easy read that wouldn't take me too long to get through and this seemed to be the perfect choice.

Good book, tbh I hope she stays friends with jasper and go back to nick since she is going to Australia in the 6th book and all... SPOILER ALERT 😹
Always gold! This was the most stressful of the series but had some important lessons about friendship that are applicable at any age.

“Because it's not the walking away from love that's the hard part: it's the falling in. It's losing yourself to it and not knowing who you are without it. It's needing somebody else more than you need yourself. It's being happier with them than you are on your own.”
