Parents in TouchPRAISE FOR GEEK GIRL:"Loved GEEK GIRL. Wise, funny and true, with a proper nerd heroine you're laughing with as much as at. Almost." James Henry, writer of Smack the Pony and Green Wing"A feel-good satisfying gem that will have teens smiling from cover to cover, and walking a little taller after reading" – Books for Keeps“I would highly recommend Geek Girl to anyone who likes a good laugh and enjoys a one-of-a-kind story.” Mia,Guardian Children’s Books website About the Author Holly Smale is the author of Geek Girl, Model Misfit and Picture Perfect. She was unexpectedly spotted by a top London modelling agency at the age of fifteen and spent the following two years falling over on catwalks, going bright red and breaking things she couldn’t afford to replace. By the time Holly had graduated from Bristol University with a BA in English Literature and an MA in Shakespeare she had given up modelling and set herself on the path to becoming a writer.Geek Girl was the no. 1 bestselling young adult fiction title in the UK in 2013. It was shortlisted for several major awards including the Roald Dahl Funny Prize and the Branford Boase award, nominated for the Queen of Teen award and won the teen and young adult category of the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize and the 11-14 category of the Leeds Book Award.

Disappointing, seemed rushed and as if the author didn't really want to write a special!
I have loved reading the series of Geek Girl books and so I thought I'd really enjoy this story but I was left disappointed. Sunny Side Up is about Harriet's trip to Paris for fashion week, she thinks she knows exactly what to do but it turns out maybe she doesn't.I didn't really like this book at all, the story and great characters were there but it all seemed very rushed and as if the author was forced to write a special rather than wanting to. Even down to the picture of sunglasses between every chapter and the chapters with not even a sentence of writing on said rushed to me!The story itself didn't seem to really go anywhere, I can see that Harriet might have made mistakes but one after another for the whole duration of the book is disappointing. She didn't even seem to learn any real life lessons from all of these mistakes, all she did was spend the whole book trying to avoid someone who never really even turned up in the book!I didn't particularly enjoy the extra chapter at the end either. Having the chapter from Nick's perspective of when he met Harriet is a fun idea but it doesn't seem to have any relevance to the book I've just read. I am really disappointed with this book, I know it's only a special but I'd have expected better. I hope the final book of the series will be a more satisfactory read.
