About this book

Harriet Manners is feeling good. With her best friend Nat and step-grandmother Bunty, she's off to Australia to model, launch Nat's fashion line, video call recent smooching partner Jasper and maybe, possibly, reel off a few facts. Of course, things are never that simple, especially when a certain ex-boyfriend called Nick happens to live Down Under…

Geek Girl fans will be dreading the final page, but Holly Smale goes out on a high. Harriet might have (several) faults, but it's impossible not to root for her and her dreams - as she figures out what exactly those might be.

With family, friendship, career and romantic dramas effortlessly interwoven - and a surprisingly emotional ending that will leave you blinking away tears - Forever Geek is as hilarious and thoughtful as ever. We might not all be models on tour with an astonishing array of facts at our disposal, but we've all been Harriet Manners at some point, and this is the perfect way to say goodbye.

About the author

Holly Smale is clumsy, a bit geeky and somewhat shy, she spent the majority of her teenage years hiding in the changing room toilets. She was unexpectedly spotted by a top London modelling agency at the age of 15 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. Holly is now a fully fledged author and blogger and is perhaps best known for her Geek Girl series.
