Girl Online
by Zoe Sugg

#1

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... But until that day, I'm going to keep it real on this blog and keep it unreal in real life.

Penny has a secret.

Under the alias Girl Online, Penny blogs her hidden feelings about friendship, boys, high school drama, her crazy family, and the panic attacks that have begun to take over her life. When things go from bad to worse, her family whisks her away to New York, where she meets Noah, a gorgeous, guitar-strumming American. 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.

Thanks for the thread

I have heard about this book by a vlogger, but I never really knew anything about it. But she sounds cute.

I think that most people are tired of yet another vlogger/youtuber writing a book.

But I actually really enjoy the book and it's cute. It's a good "I want to read before I go to sleep" book, or just a chill one.

I bought the E-book version last night and I'm already halfway through.

Has there been other Vloggers/bloggers getting book deals?

21:21 · 11-25-2014, 08:22 AM

I think that 3 people had their books released before her and now it's one after her. So maybe 5 youtubers in total.

Some are saying that it was written by a ghostwriter but I honestly don't believe it. But who knows. It's a nice book either way

This sounds like an interesting one. Thanks for this.

you're welcome.

I'm almost done

This is my first time hearing of this book. I've never heard of the Vlogger either.

I finished the book and it's a nice little book. It's not amazing and I can't lie and say that it was amazingly written, but it's nice and cute. It's a good book to read if you have some free time over or during the holiday, but I do feel like the title and the book description is a bit misleading - as always.

So yeah, if you want to read a nice book and just get away for a few hours or minutes then I'll recommend the book however, I can see if it's not your taste because it's demo is teens and it can be really cheesy at times.

And I'm saying this with so much respect for Zoe because it's amazing to have accomplished something like this, going from being a youtuber but it def isn't the next hunger games or something.

That's good to hear. Not every book needs to be brilliant.

Stay to the Lights · 12-04-2014, 03:27 AM

First week and it jumps to the #1 spot

That's awesome.

I love this book, I read it for about 2 hours just before. I think I'll finish it tomorrow.

Aw Zoe is adorable. I really like her and the book sounds cute. I'll be adding it to my to-read list
