♥ Girl Online - Zoë Sugg - Review ♥

at 17:05

Girl Online has received a lot of criticism due to the fact that at least some- it not all- of the book was ghost-written. I have been a fan of Zoe for over two years, so I quickly got over it. Even if it was ghost-written, wouldn't you rather have young people reading some form of literature than not reading at all?


Girl Online is the first of two books by Zoe, and I feel that it depicts life as a teenager these days really well. The protagonist is named Penny, a year eleven girl from Brighton. Penny is fighting the age-old problems that nearly every teenager goes through- mean girls, boy touble, spots -and also some modern ones, such as trying to take the perfect selfie and choosing which emojis to add to a text message.

 Penny suffers from panic attacks and anxiety, so, like Zoe herself, starts a blog to speak about her problems, which soon has a big and supportive following.

I have one piece of somewhat constructive criticism about this book- whoever was describing the characters needs to describe them more, as I didn't know what age some people are until near the end of the book!

I think this book is really good, and I recommend it to everyone- whether you're 13 or 33 :)


Have you read Girl Online?
What do you think of it?

Lots of love,
