Girl Online by Zoe Sugg/ Zoella | Book Review

Ok so I thought I'd do a different kind of blog today, I really want to start to personalise my blog by incorporating more of my interests. One of which is reading. Normally I don't get much time to read but lately I've been making an extra effort to put down my laptop or phone, step away from the internet and delve into a book.

Today I just just finished read Girl Online by Zoe Sugg and wanted to share my thoughts on it, like a mini review. Initially I wanted to try the book out of intrigue due the its popularity. I bought the kindle version and started reading it about a week ago.

I will say now that whilst contemporary romance is not usually a genre I enjoy or choose to read I began reading with an open mind and really wanted to enjoy the book. Which to my surprise I did! The beginning I felt was a bit slow and found the formality of the text a little juvenile but this is to be expected as it is obviously intended for a younger audience than myself. I did put the book down for a couple of days and could quite happily have not returned to it as initially I wasn't particularly enthralled. However I'm glad I did continue reading as I do think the pace of storyline quickens and becomes more interesting after the first few chapters.

I thought the book was really well written it is an interesting, if a bit predictable storyline with a few plot twists along the way. I feel it is a  very relatable book for many young teenagers and approaches many diverse topics such as panic attacks, bullying and homosexuality. The book obviously has parallels to Zoe's own life whilst remains entirely fictional and this gives it a personal depth.

If you enjoy contemporary romance this is definitely a book you'd enjoy, if not I'd still recommend it as a feel good read. It's a light and easy to read book which I enjoyed.
I'd rate the book 4/5 overall.

Hope you enjoyed this review, I'm hoping to do some more soon
