Girl Online Book Review

I don’t think anyone understands how excited I was when I found out Zoella was writing a book! And when it arrived to my post yesterday I almost screamed of excitement. If you haven’t heard of Zoe Sugg’s new book Girl Online then first of all where have you been!? And secondly it is about a young girl going through the awkward teenage years, trying to figure out where she fits in, in life. She goes through a crazy journey of friendships, boys, travelling, family and dealing with anxiety.

It was so easy to read, it arrived at about 10am and I was finished by about 7pm. At the start it was a bit slow but without a slow start you wouldn’t have gotten to know the characters as well.

I think it’s a really good book for teenager’s going through some of the same problems growing up. I think I really would’ve benefitted if I read the book when I was a bit younger because it is so relevant to what I was facing a few years ago. Not that I’ve had problems with anxiety, just that I didn’t really know where I fitted in like Penny (the main character).

The books storyline was very consistent, characters from the start of the book weren’t forgotten towards the end and all characters were interesting in their own way. Every issue and dilemma Penny faced were real life situations many people go through.

I loved how eye opening the book was to someone who has never faced anxiety herself. I think it will really help people understand what panic attacks are like, so if they ever go through one or have to help someone in that situation; then they will know what to do.

I also loved how Zoe mentioned YouTube and blogs and the Internet, I don’t recall that ever being done before in a book. I think for older generations who don’t understand the Internet or YouTube, it will open their eyes to how amazing the Internet can be. And not be as naive about it as my mum, all she says is be careful, like the Internet is this dangerous, scary place.

I hope you all at some point read Zoe Sugg’s first novel. It was fun, heartbreaking, relatable, interesting and could make you feel really happy all in one. I’m pretty sure it’s available almost in every country, so just search Girl Online Zoe Sugg on Google and I’m sure it will come up.

If you've already read it, please let me know what you liked!

Thanks for reading!
