I recently just finished a book called girl online,
Girl Online is written by a YouTuber named Zoella (aka Zoe Sugg). "Under the alias Girl Online, penny blogs her hidden feelings about friendship, boys, high school drama, her quirky family, and the panic attacks that have begun to take over her life. When things go from bad to worse at school, her parents accept an opportunity to whisk the family away for Christmas at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City. There, Penny meets Noah, a gorgeous, guitar-strumming American. Suddenly she is falling in love in love-and capturing every moment she spends with "Brooklyn Boy" on her blog. But Noah has a secret, too, one that threatens to ruin Penny's cover-and her closest friendship-forever."
This book was really good to read, but it was very emotional in the way that I felt almost everything that penny was feeling, every word. I think I found myself a little to invested in this book. My favourite part of Girl Online is the romance part, i felt happy for Penny in these moments because she is able to feel happy rather than anxious and humiliated.
One of Zoe's quotes in the book is "I have this dream that, secretly, all teenage girls feel exactly like me. And maybe one day, when we realize that we all feel the same, we can all stop pretending we're something we're not. That would be awesome. But until that day, I'm going to keep it real on this blog and keep it unreal in "real" life. The first time I read it, I didn't get it because I haven't read the book yet. The second time I read it, I read it in the book, I had to read it over in my head a couple of times and really think about what it meant. On her blog she was real, and what she was feeling and what she said was real. In real life she wasn't telling everyone the whole truth of everything. Another thing that stuck in my head was Noah would tell Penny, if your ever feeling anxious, or nervous, close your eyes and picture where it is, give it a colour and a shape, and watch it fade away.
This book by Zoe Sugg is written amazing, and she is amazing. I am looking forward to reading the next book, and finding out the title. It's not just called Girl Online 2, but I am curious to find out.
I am so proud of Zoe and how much she has accomplished, coming out with her first beauty product line, writing her first book, coming out with her second beauty line, and now on her way to finishing her second book (Girl Online 2)!
I hoped you enjoyed reading this post as much as I enjoyed writing it! I hope this makes you wonder what else is in the book and makes you want to read it.
