SYNOPSIS: I had no idea GirlOnline would take off the way it has - I can't believe I now have 5432 followers, thanks so much! - and the thought of opening up to you all about this is terrifying, but here goes... Penny has a secret. Under the alias GirlOnline, she blogs about school dramas, boys, her mad, whirlwind family - and the panic attacks she's suffered from lately. When things go from bad to worse, her family whisks her away to New York, where she meets the gorgeous, guitar-strumming Noah. Suddenly Penny is falling in love - and capturing every moment of it on her blog. But Noah has a secret too. One that threatens to ruin Penny's cover - and her closest friendship - forever. Rating: 4/5
Girl Online is near the top of two of my lists: "Books that should be made into movies asap" and "Books I wish I could read for the first time again". Penny from Girl Online is everything we all dream of being: she has a succesful blog, a great family, amazing best friend, lives in a beautiful city, gets to travel to New York for her mum's work, and dates a famous singer! While reading the Girl Online books, I pretty much spent the whole time being super jealous of Penny and wishing I could be her to be honest. Penny is the sweetest person and I love her character. She also has anxiety, and it's described so well and realistically because the author, Zoe Sugg, has anxiety herself so she knows exactly what it's like. While Penny is dealing with her issues, her best friend Elliot has his own. Elliot as well is a lovable character whom I was rooting for right from the start. He's not blessed when it comes to his parents, but luckily he receives a blessing later on in the story (no spoilers!). These books also have nice girl friendships, instead of pitting girls against each other to compete for a boy's love, which is a trope that I absolutely hate. The plot itself is a quick read with loads of aspects that will make you jealous and a few that will make you think as there's some mystery in each of the books. If you haven't read the Girl Online series yet, do yourself a favour and try them! Also, Zoe Sugg, as you probably know, has a succesful YouTube channel which I also love, so link to that here. Let me know if you've read the Girl Online series and what you thought of it! Did you love it as much as I did?
