Picture Perfect by Emily, Year 11

Picture Perfect is the third book (out of five) in the Geek Girl series by Holly Smale. The series is based on a girl, called Harriet Manners, who is unexpectedly spotted at a fashion show by a top modelling agency. She goes on to find herself on catwalks and with a boyfriend, but soon realises that she has no idea about modelling or boys.

In Picture Perfect Harriet’s dad finds a job in New York so her family has to move to America. Harriet leaves a lot behind; modelling, her best friends, her enemies, school, but not her boyfriend. He has got a modelling job in New York. As soon as they get to New York everything goes wrong. Harriet makes bad decisions, her dad makes bad decisions and her stepmother (Annabel) makes some even worse ones. Harriet thought she wouldn’t miss her friends; she thought Nat (her best friend) would make new friends at college and forget about her. She was also certain that Toby’s (her stalker) annoying ways would mean she wouldn’t ever long for his company, little did she know that she was so incredibly wrong.

I really enjoyed this book and the two previous books in the series, so I would highly recommend them. I would mainly recommend them to young teenage girls, but I think some slightly younger or older readers would also enjoy them.
