Hi Everyone,

I'm Blogger Anonymous and this is the second instalment of my blogging journey.

This week I am going to be talking about a book series I have just finished reading called Geek Girl from the infamous Holly Smale!

(IK I am late jumping on the band wagon with this one but it's better late than never)

So where do I begin? If you're unfamiliar with Geek Girl I encourage you to STOP reading this right now ( !!! ) and go and read it because once it has captivated you there is no turning back.

I thought that the 8th (or arguably 9th) book in this series was.... well.... interesting. It definitely took me a little while longer to sink into this book than it did with any of the others but once I did it was the similar, comfy and familiar story IK and love.
I was very happy to discover that not the WHOLE purpose of the trip to Australia was purely focused on Nick and that there was also the aspects of modelling, exploring, building family bonds and the traditional Harriet Manners mishaps in-store, not to mention Nat's key role in this book along with her upcoming fashion brand.
 I also loved Holly's decision to drop the Harriet-Jasper relationship as I, along with many other readers, thought that was a bit of a lost cause and then (predictably ) the Harriet-Nick relation was back in full swing as of the last few chapters and, although this card has been played many times before in the Geek Girl books, it is a much loved move and (as Forever Geek is the finale) it only seemed right.

One thing I can't go without talking about is poor old Bunty Brown, we all new she was making a return for the final book but her abrupt ending certainly wasn't what I presumed Holly had planned for her. Although it was sad that we had to say an early goodbye to a character we barely new I think it was honourable that Holly cut her time short because it really put into perspective how fragile human life is and how it can be snatched away in the flick of a page. Even though I hadn't expected Bunty to be the one who was going to pass I knew deep down that it most certainly wasn't going to be  Yuka she's like an invincible super power Harriet's mom of the fashion world and Holly wasn't going to cut her out.

Comment what you would like to read next week,

Until next time, remember your part of the family,

Lots of love,
