    Geek Girl is a well-written and well-acted look at what happens when someone who doesn’t usually embrace surprises in life does so out of the simple desire to be seen.

    Smale and fellow novelist Jessica Ruston’s screen version has retained the joyful essence of the books and – with a deeply admiring nod to the casting directors here – have in Emily Carey a Harriet who delivers everything they need.

    It’s a solid showcase for its 21-year-old star. Geek Girl is a likably wholesome, generally low-stakes YA fairy tale — references to Cinderella abound.

    The format is a little run-of-the-mill, even by teen romcom standards. .... But overall, Geek Girl is a feel-good, cosy watch that will be happily approved by dedicated fans of the best-selling source material.
