Zoe Sugg - Girl Online
I am going to write a review on Zoella's first ever novel "Girl Online."
If you a unfamiliar with Zoella, I will tell you a few facts about her. Her name is Zoe Sugg and she is 24 years-old, she started blogging her life to just a handful of followers and now has over 7 million subscribers on Youtube. Her Youtube channel contains "follow me around vlogs", make-up and hairstyle videos, Q&A's, collaborations, and even talks about her panic attacks. She suffers with anxiety and has for a few years now(her openness about the anxiety is greatly praised by mental health charities and also by a good percentage of her subscribers who also suffer with anxiety including me.) She comes across warm-hearted and hard working and not to mention she is beautiful. Since she was young, Zoe has had a strong interest in writing stories and very creative. Zoe is the oldest out of her brother(Joe Sugg, 23).
Girl Online is a novel aimed at teenagers, the book is great at capturing the of life, growing up and social media which is a huge part of our generation.
Penny, the main character, is year 11 at high school who is struggling with teenage problems such as - boys, spots, mean girls, agonising over whether to end a text with kisses or a smiley-face emoticon at the end of her text's. Penny also suffers with anxiety (like Zoe does herself.) After falling over at a school play and showing the world her knickers which was of course captured on video and posted on YouTube and Facebook, Penny goes though ultimate humiliation. Penny joins her parents on a trip to New York and her best friend Elliot joins. In New York she meets a “Rock-God-tastic" boy, Noah, who has chiselled cheekbones and chocolate brown eyes and a tragic backstory involving an avalanche. He has a secret, which you may or may not work out just after you meet him. Without giving anymore away and spoiling the surprise of the book, I will let you read this fantastic book, written beautifully.
This book is beautifully written and just a beautiful book in general, please go get yourself a copy because you will definitely enjoy no matter what gender you are!
Lots of love,
