REVIEW: Girl Online by Zoe Sugg

Girl Online (Girl Online #1) by Zoe Sugg, Siobhan Curham (Ghostwriter)

3.5 stars.

It was kind of difficult to give this a star rating. I really like this book and I love Zoe. I am 20 years old, though, and I feel like I would have enjoyed the teen elements of this story a lot more when I was in junior high or beginning high school.

While reading, I found a few phrases and terms used in the dialogue kind of cringe worthy. I don't think anyone says "Rock God-tastic". There are a couple more things I found weird or off and I'll mention that in my booktalk review on my channel. I'm guessing this is because there were two authors, Zoe, and her ghostwriter, Siobhan Curham.

I also found throughout this story that it reminded me of Zoe and her personality, but I like the fact that a theme in the story is that even though many people put parts of their lives on the Internet, their followers still don't know them completely. I think that's one of the many things she wanted to put out there with this book, thinking of who is reading it. It's a great reminder for everyone on social media, no matter how old, to think before posting something that could possibly have a negative impact on someone else. This is very important since everyone is on social media!

Overall, I enjoyed this book and I found it to be great for teenage readers, fans of Zoe or not. It tells a story teens would enjoy, full of cutesy friendship, relationships, and travel. It stays up to date with blogging and social media as well as giving readers an idea of what panic attacks and cyber bullying could feel like.

A video review will follow soon with more thoughts and some quote analyzing.

Throwback Review: DELIRIUM by Lauren Oliver

(Originally posted on my Goodreads page.)

March 8, 2014

I have a video on my channel about the entire Delirium trilogy and my thoughts. I also have a Tumblr blog dedicated to this trilogy.

I picked this book up at Barnes & Noble not knowing exactly what it's about. I basically bought it because I had Before I Fall and I knew Lauren Oliver is an amazing author already.
I absolutely love this book and entire trilogy. Lauren has an original idea, she is such a skilled writer, and I read anything she writes. When I first started the book I wasn't sure if I would be as crazy about it as I am now. The characters are enjoyable and frustrating at the same time. It's great, so if you are wondering if you should read this trilogy, yes. Go read it.

So, the characters are fantastic. It has been said that Lena Haloway is an unlikable heroine, I didn't think that before I read that online. I always understood her in this book and I wasn't ever like, "Ugh, Lena, what are you doing?" I felt like what she would do is probably similar to what I would do. She lives in this world where people are at war with themselves. All love is forbidden and she is confused when she falls for Alex. Alex, on the other hand, I love Alex! He seems so perfect and he reads books and poetry.

I give it 5 out of 5 stars.
