Hello!
As some of you may know, at the beginning of this week Zoe Sugg, more commonly known as Zoella on the interwebs, hit the shelves of shops such as Waterstones and WHSmith's with her new fiction book; Girl Online.
This was the first book Zoe had ever published and Penguin books made this happen for her. She has told many a story about her writing her own little stories when she was younger and once typing and printing out a huge story! But unfortunately, she cannot find it anywhere!
I received her book on the release day as a surprise gift from my mum, yay!
I started reading it the same day and it had me hooked, it touched on so many issues that have effected me and a lot of others, you can really see her personality shining through in this too.
Some of the issues touched on in this book are: anxiety and panic attacks, peer pressure and bullying, drifting away from best friends, parents trying to accept a homosexual child, teenage love and also online abuse. This makes it sound like quite a deep book, and in some ways yes it is, but she has written it in a way that makes it such a light and enjoyable story, but definitely has a deeper meaning if you look more into it.
She has an audience where the majority are probably under the age of 18, maybe even 16. She has a real platform to be able to put all of these issues out and into the world to allow young people to understand these issues in such a way that would not be 'boring' for the average teen, she has really done this successfully and in an understanding way.
Overall this book is probably one of my top three books, the other two being The Fault in Our Stars and Paper Towns by John Green!
I really suggest that you go and give this a read!
