Nerdy model Harriet (Geek Girl; Model Misfit), now Nick's "proper girlfriend," is looking forward to the MRSE: Most Romantic Summer Ever. But when she and her parents move to New York, it doesn't turn out as Harriet hoped. While still slight stuff, it's gratifying to see Harriet (who here turns sixteen) and her idea of romance mature. Returning characters and some new zany sidekicks will please fans.

Messy, gawky, and still very clueless, Harriet continues her unexpected modeling career--this time working for a famous designer in Japan--with the same colorful cast of characters and several equally odd new ones. This installment (thankfully) focuses less on the value of physical beauty than its predecessor, though fans will find the same slight, over-the-top humor in Harriet's entertaining escapade.
