Title:  Model Misfit Author:  Holly Smale Series:   Geek Girl, #2 Pages:   356 Publisher:  HarperCollins' Children's Books Date of Publication:  26th September 2013 Source:  Publishers, via NetGalley Synopsis from Goodreads: “My name is Harriet Manners, and I am still a geek.” Harriet knows that modelling won’t transform you.

But nothing can prepare Harriet for the craziness of Tokyo, her competitive model flatmates and her errant grandmother’s ‘chaperoning’. Or seeing gorgeous Nick everywhere she goes. Because...

Hey everyone! Sorry I've not been posting much, again... Anyway, today I've got another awesome guest post from Katie Dale to celebrate her new book, Little White Lies ! __________ LITTLE WHITE LIES Gorgeous Christian is a mystery. Why does he dye his hair, clam up whenever Lou asks about his past, and have no family photos? But when Christian’s secret is publicly revealed, Lou finds herself in terrible danger – and keeping secrets of her own… As lie follows lie, nothing is as it seems, and soon Lou finds herself ensnared in a web of deceit, her loyalties torn, her emotions in tatters as she faces a heart-wrenching dilemma: should she shatter the lives of those she holds dearest, or betray the guy who, against all odds, she's fallen in love with?
