Author Holly Smale has hit back at criticism of the Netflix adaptation of her book, Geek Girl.
The popular YA book series, published in 2015, has been turned into a 10-part series, starring House of the Dragon actor Emily Carey as 16-year-old self-declared geek Harriet Manners, who gets bullied at school until a modelling agency scouts her during a field trip to London Fashion Week.
