Holly Smale, Head over Heels (Geek Girl #5), HarperCollins Australia, 16 March 2016, 446pp., $14.99 (pbk.), ISBN 9780007574650
This breathless diary of one Harriet Manners is delivered at breakneck speed with a plethora of incidental detail and hubris. With relationships, school, auditions and family issues, Harriet is front, centre and dominant on every page. London and the whole of the U.K. is the backdrop for this junior chick/lit page turner which ends with the possibility of her holidaying in Australia. Possibly an appealing read for early teens or younger.
