Geek Girl plot

Sixteen year old Harriet Manners has spent her life trying to be invisible and blend in seamlessly, but there's no denying she's a geek. While on a school trip to London Fashion Week, she's catapulted into the spotlight when she captures the attention of a modelling agent.

The plot synopsis reads: "Tightly wound agents, reclusive designers, impossibly high heels, and a handsome young supermodel with a great smile — socially awkward Harriet has no idea what she’s in for."
