I have not much to reproach Geek Girl - but I will explain my point of withdrawal later - The characters are not unbearable as it is frequently the case in the novels of this kind, although deeply rooted in their personality. The presence of parents is more, which adds credibility to the story, despite Harriet Dad, that is a caricature of the cool dad. The photograph on the opposite BFF heroin was carefully avoided, and I congratulate the author for making his characters endearing people - including Toby, whom I suspect to be autistic, and I love.
The trip to Russia has only charmed me even more, I think Holly Smale has mostly wrote this book to charm me.
Geek Girl is, in short, a very simple novel, fresh, fun. Very funny. I think it must be about 90% compound of humor, suspense 5%, 4% of conflict, and 1% romance. Mix all with a writing size 36 until you have the impression of seeing Andrea Miranda and the movie The Devil Wears Prada, and you have 5 hours to read it.
It is ideal for taking a break, resting with an intense series, or close reading failure.
But I pulled a point because it lacks something. Lack the intensity, the evolution of heroin shortage. This is not a "coming of age", and it is not affected by the trials of life. Geek Girl is a very light, funny novel that gives a breath of fresh air, but not a novel that touches the reader in the heart. So I could not put 10/10, resulting from the favorite, while this is not the case.
In conclusion, Geek Girl is ideal for a break, breathe or relax from the stress of exams (as Activia with active bifidus), but we should not expect a poignant novel;)
What I liked most: The humor, Toby, the Russiiiiie
What I liked least: The cartoon Papa Harriet, who slightly discredited in his role as father.
