Geek Girl: Picture Perfect (Geek Girl, 3) Paperback – August 2, 2016

I love the growth for Harriet in this story. What teenager doesn't have that moment they feel lost and like they are forced to navigate life on their own, only to discover they are pushing away the people trying to help. This was such a great story with a wonderful lesson about accepting who you are and taking back the power of how you interact with the world. Don't give bullies power over your life when you accept your own perfect. Can't wait to read more.

Seriously one of my favorite books, can't wait for the next one to be available on kindle!!

Love this book! A great read!!!!!

Yes my granddaughter says she loved it.

My 11 year old daughter loves this series.

THE STORY | Harriet Manners is about to go on the adventure of a lifetime. Along with her parents and baby sister, Harriet is now in New York. All of this is thanks to a six-month job her father recently accepted. Suddenly what was once going to be a drab season at home (without her boyfriend or best friend), suddenly turns into anticipation for what’s next. She’ll be able to spend nights with her boyfriend, Nick and they’ll be spending those nights out in New York City.Unbeknownst to Harriet, her father’s job is in New York, but the family will settle in a suburb that’s not exactly anything like New York. Devastated, Harriet tries to make the best of it and still feels further away from Nick than ever. When everyone seems to forget Harriet exists, she decides it’s time she met New York City…REVIEW | I’ve mentioned numerous times my love of the Geek Girl series. Part of this is because, here in the States, they seem really underrated (they are written by a British author and first published in the U.K.), but maybe that’s just my perception. Either way, these books are adorable.Inside these pages, we see Harriet in an entirely new way. No longer is she the docile geek character we’ve come to love. She tries on the shoes of rebellion in this novel, and though it goes against everything Harriet is, we still love her. Book three seems like the perfect place to make a bit of a change in this character’s life, and her personality isn’t the only thing that changes. While I won’t say what else undergoes change, I will say, you may close this book with a tiny bit of heartbreak.The “adventure” of this novel is fantastic. Even though it comes with a defiant Harriet, the story is still entertaining. I also love that we see the character explore new surroundings in an entirely new place. The adventure of the story is fun and makes for a new kind of “statement” to this story.If you’ve previously enjoyed Geek Girl and her (mis)adventures, you’ll love this installment, Geek Girl: Picture Perfect. It’s again another winning story that will make you smile, and leaves me ready for 'All That Glitters.'

In this story, Harriet, her parents and new little sister Tabitha move to America where Harriet's father has got a new job. While there Harriet gets a worse than useless tutor who convinces her that she is stupid, Harriet gets grounded and despite this sneaks out to modelling gigs in the city and to be with Nick when her parents think she is in her bedroom, and gets into some difficult situations of her own making which she has to resolve by book's end.This is the third book about Harriet Manners, accidental model and geek, and while it's a good read I didn't enjoy it as much as the previous two books. Harriet is smart and she knows who can and can't be trusted so I just didn't buy that she was so quick to fall for some of the lies and stupidities of people she barely knew over the truths told her by her boyfriend, family and friends. She knows she's smart yet she falls for the lies of someone who says she isn't. She's told by someone else that her boyfriend needs to be tricked into really loving her and she goes along with that. It was just a leap too far for me and I couldn't suspend my disbelief. The story felt a bit forced and Harriet's conniptions over Nick felt a bit fake as though the story needed a falling out so a manufactured and unnatural one was put in.That said, the series so far is still worth reading and I'm optimistic that the next book will be a bit more believable.

Audiobook Review:You guys, this series is now officially one of my favorites. Each book is just as good, if not better, than the last. I adore Harriet Manners and her adorable, quirky, unique self. Getting to see Harriet in New York in Picture Perfect was a wonderful treat. I love experiencing all of Harriet’s travels, which are never lacking when it comes to clumsiness, snarky girls, and loads of adorable drama.There’s always a little bit of romance in these books, but this one seemed to center a bit more on that aspect. Harriet isn’t boy crazy, but with her first “real” boyfriend by her side, she’s full of awkward situations and loads of laughs.I chose the audiobook route with this one, as I have with the entire series so far. Katey Sobey IS Harriet to me, but it doesn’t stop there. She brings these characters to a whole new level that I honestly feel I couldn’t experience to this extreme level by reading it myself. I HIGHLY recommend this series on audio. I have so much love for this series!(Thanks to Harper Audio for the review copy!)
