The best quote from the novel is “modelling can be fun as long as you don’t take it personally”. The novel is full of memorable characters like her lawyer stepmother Annabel, bewidered father and serial geek stalker Toby. Harriet becomes the new face of fashion and blows this avant garde world away with her intelligence and her honesty. On a school trip to a clothes fashion show with her aspiring super model girlfriend Nat, Harriet is discovered by Wilbur who works for ultra chic fashion designer Yuka Ito. Her school mates consider her a geek and while she is very bright she doesn’t look further than that. Harriet manners considers herself a geek. This book is a real laugh but holds a very important message that came from Shakespeare “to thine ownself be true”.
