Though this book was solid and an enjoyable read, it didn't quite live up to the hype that I was expecting with it. This was very easy to read and entertained me for a few hours of an all-nighter at an airport, but it did feel very young and didn't captivate me very highly. I think that one of the main problems I had with this book was in how modelling was portrayed. Harriet is a geek girl, and I didn't like that she felt she had to change in order to fit in. Though it's become a little cliche, I enjoy when the outcast realises she's comfortable in her own skin. Modelling is portrayed as something that will save her and make her fit in, when really, if those girls at her school didn't want to be her friend to begin with, they're not worth her time. While it's cute that the girl who wasn't looking for a modelling contract got one, the entire process wasn't realistic at all. I felt really bad for her best friend, Nat; although she was very supportive of Harriet, the poor girl had dreamed of being a model all of her life and it really wasn't fair to her that Harriet, who had always seemed to scoff at this dream, was suddenly realising it. Toby's character was probably my favourite--he was Harriet's self-proclaimed stalker and provided a lot of comic relief, especially compared to Nick, who was just a pretty face with little substance. Harriet has a very young voice, and I recommend this for young teenagers. There was definitely nothing bad about this book, but I didn't love it. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Harriet prägt das Wort "uncool" in Reinkultur. Sie wird von Klassenkameraden gemobbt und beschimpft. Doch dann wird sie von einem Modelagenten als neues Aushängeschild für eine berühmte Modemarke entdeckt. Plötzlich ist Harriet nicht mehr das hässliche Entlein, sondern der schöne Schwan und zerstört dadurch den gröt︢en Traum ihrer besten Freundin Nat. Schnell merkt sie, dass der Modezirkus dunkle Blüten treibt. Harriet lässt sich jedoch nicht verbiegen, bewahrt ihren Charakter und erhält dadurch die Freundschaft zu ihren alten Freunden und gewinnt eine neue Liebe dazu. - Witzig-frische, freche Teenie-Klamotte, die die Probleme speziell von Mädchen anspricht. Gruppenakzeptanz und Mobbing sind die Hauptthemen, die die Protagonistin in der Ich-Form in locker flockigen Sprüchen thematisiert. Doch auch Themen wie Stalking, Pickel, 1. Liebe und Figurprobleme sowie Selbstfindung und -akzeptanz werden angesprochen. Dabei wird jede Romanfigur sympathisch karikiert und lässt die Leserin schmunzeln. Der Roman ist fast durchgängig flüssig und leicht zu lesen. Gerne empfohlen. Ab 10 Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |

This books opens up to a whole new world for Harriet and it is fantastic, the humour is brilliant and I was giggling quite often reading it. There are also things that come out towards the end of the book that leave you wanting to read the next book straight away to see how things develop.
I really liked it. ( )
