Book 1 of 2: Harriet Greer Grows Up

See all formats and editions

Harriet Greer is quite content being the underachiever of her family. Sure, she’s 29 years old, has two low-paying part time jobs, a nearly broken down car and an ex-boyfriend who never quite exits her life. But she’s always managed to land on her feet. Or so she thinks.

Following a disastrous dinner party with her family, Harriet is forced to hear the truth about her life. But the news does not come from her parents or her overachieving sisters. No, instead, Harriet has the (not so pleasant) pleasure of meeting her spirit guide, Heather, in the mirror.

Heather is bored with Harriet’s life and is determined to set her on the right path once and for all. Unfortunately for Harriet, this means a new job, a new boss and a new bitchy flatmate. It also means that she is forced to admit to her one secret ambition. Read Harriet’s BLOG to find out more!

First book in a two-part series.

Fantastic!

As a debut novel this book has already done famously. It is well written, easy to read and understand. You can follow the story smoothly. The story it totally believable. I do feel parts of the story, if not all, can be about any one of us. Growing up, for Harriet who is at the high end of her 20's, is not easy. Harriet has been coasting so far without much thought. She has been reacting to events and not trying to mold her own life. Harriet wants to be in 'happily ever after' love. She just never seems to find the right person.

The characters are well written and described. You can understand them and how they think. You can relate to them.
Adam is a hunk with common sense and a heart of gold. Heather.... well you just have to read about Heather.

I recommend this story to ages 19 on up. For many, this story will offer a good lesson on growing up. I am looking forward to the next in the series.

Well done Ms. Wenn. Congratulations!

A delightful and quirky story! Kirsty Wenn's writing is so easy to read and engaging and the novel reads more like you're spying on someone's personal diary rather than a traditional book, which I love. This is chick-lit combined with a bit of fantasy and it was a lovely light read in a fun blog format. Harriet's struggles to become the person she knows she is capable of being are endearing and often hilarious and she's a very loveable leading lady. I look forward to reading the second part of Harriet's journey by this talented author.

What a surprise packet this book was!
Congratulations to Kirsty Wenn, I thought Harriet was a wonderful character - so very human and relatable - and the scrapes she gets herself into are classic. I enjoy first person POV writing but it can be difficult to pull off well, and I thought this author does it with wit and charm and in doing so, gives Harriet a narrative voice that is lots of fun and extremely easy to read.
It's great to read about a woman trying to do the right thing in this world and struggling with expectations, and with the various challenges a normal life throws up (outside the spiritual advisor I guess, Heather's not particularly normal!)
I'm looking forward to finding out what happens with Harriet's sister Olivia, and with Harriet and Adam in Book 2.

Page turning read

Harriet Greer is long overdue for a long hard look in the mirror. But it takes an appearance in the bathroom mirror from her spirit guide for her to review her life honestly. Once she's over the shock Harriet realises she doesn't like what she sees: unfullfilled potential; two part time jobs, no career plan, loser ex boyfriend, ambitions abandoned and low expectations from those who know and love her. With a bit of prompting from her spirit guide, Harriet turns her life around and her bumpy journey into adulthood makes for funny and entertaining reading, with a romance or two to add some spice and some appealing other characters to test her along the way. I like the "sliding doors" aspect of the story, we all wonder about what would happen if we'd taken different paths in life and Harriet explores that too. A very enjoyable read. I hope to see more from this author and perhaps this character.

Good characterization. A bit too descriptive in spots, yet an enjoyable read. Most definitely want to follow Harriet's journey. Good job.

Excellent debut

Harriet Greer is truly in need of growing up and this story leads you along a, mostly, predictable path as she does. There are some very amusing loops and turns along the way during this light hearted book.
Set in Sydney Australia it is easily understood no matter where you are. I think this is more fun than many of the girlfriend genre books that are so prevalent. This story touches lightly on the subjects of domestic violence and psychological problems needing therapy.
The author has left the ending open to continuing the story and I will read more if that is the case.
Quite enjoyable.

Harriet Greer Grows Up Delightfully

Reviewed in the United States on May 7, 2014

Delightful 1st person story. Kept me up reading and looking forward to the next postings. Although the outcome is predictable, getting there is quite fun as Harriet faces life with the help of Heather, her alter ego in the mirror. Imbued with Australian style and geography, the characters are charming, even the mean ones. Lots of smiles and laughs as the wedding plans progress. I like Ms Wenn's way with words and will read more of her work.
