Girl Online On Tour by Zoe Sugg


Girl Online On Tour by Zoe Sugg 


All the Feelsssssss !

Okay, this book was a little too intense. There's a lot of drama, a lot of conflicts, a lot of bitches, but also a lot of bonding. It's all too much in one, and you think it'll be too much to handle but they all seem to fit perfectly well and balanced. That is life. Life is suck. Life does not give you one problem after another. It throws everything at you and expect you to deal with it. 

I think Zoe did a great job in this book by addressing real life problem and situations. Zoe exposed to all her readers that no one's life is perfect, no matter how happy they look in pictures or how perfect their life is on videos. She exposed the rawness of life in this book that the readers surely are able to taste. Although, not all of us get to date a famous singer but we can relate to problems like long distance relationships, conflicts; we can all relate to how people use us in our life to get what they want and how forgiving is a better way to mend the heart than trying to hide and forget.

In this book, Penny goes on the tour with Noah, expecting to spend much more time together. But the first concert has already set a disastrous start. She got lost, lost her phone, and got anxiety when Noah is performing in a big concert. Luckily, Megan is there to help her.Yes, the same Megan that betrayed her before. Penny goes home and decides to still go on tour with Noah, facing her fear and overcoming her anxiety. 

As the tour starts, Noah is been super busy with work and meetings. They literally did not spend a day together or did anything that was on their to-do-list. Not only that, Penny is receiving blackmails from the person who stole her phone, threatening her to break up with Noah. Even worst, Noah's best friend who is the drummer of the band is a jerk and got fame up in his head. 

When Leah, Noah's fake celebrity girlfriend, comes on tour too, Penny is shaking with anxiety and worries. However, Leah and Penny did not become enemies like she expected, but the opposite; they become best friends. During this tour, Penny made many friends, understand the real world better, and got to experience this chapter of life that was totally alien to her. But as the tour went on, she felt that her relationship with Noah was not going anywhere. Regardless on how much she wants this relationship to work and how much she still wants Noah in her life, Penny knows that she has to do what feels right for Noah and for herself. Will this be the end of Noah and Penny?

The ending was sweet but also will make you want to pull your hair out ! I cannot wait for the 3rd book !

hugs and kisses

Girl Online by Zoe Sugg

Girl Online by Zoe Sugg

Noah is funny, spontaneous, and loving. He is the type of guy you wish for on 11:11 and the definition of the modern Prince Charming. Penny is innocent, lucky, and very down to Earth. She is someone you would want to be or someone you would want in your life because she can just make you laugh.

In this book, Penny suffers from anxiety since she got into a car accident with her parents. Elliot, her best friend who lives next door, is the only one who knows about this. Penny decides to start an anonymous blog to write down her feelings and to be free. The blog worked ! Through the blog, she is able to express herself and also finds people facing similar issues. She feels connected, normal, and okay.

Penny is also a very good photographer. So one day, the school play asked her to take pictures. She got on stage to take the whole cast photo but fell and it was such an embarrassing moment for her. Soon, the video of her falling and crawling off stage went live on the internet. She is devastated but what made it even worst is the fact that it was her best friend since secondary school, Megan, who posted the video.

For Christmas, Penny's parents are going to New York to organize a wedding so it was a little escape for Penny, too. Since Penny's brother, Tom, who in fact is the most loving and thoughtful brother anyone could ever wish for, did not want to go, Elliot goes with Penny.

At New York, Penny bumps into Noah, a charming, good looking, and funny guy. They end up spending the whole day together and things happen, feelings changed, and connections sparked.

When Penny's little escape trip comes to an end, she is ready to say goodbye to Noah but only because she knows that they will surely see each other again.

When she got back home, things changed, secrets are spilled, and Penny knows her relationship with Noah will never be the same again.

This book was a fast and easy read. It was very touching and funny. I love Zoe, I think she is such an amazing person with such amazing personality. This book really reflected her in a way that her views can understand and recognize. I keep imagining Penny as Zoe in many cases.

I know there's a lot of people saying that Zoe did not write this book herself and that there's a ghostwriter. Yes, I am a little disappointed that she didn't write it herself but No, you cannot say she didn't put in effort to finish this book. I mean, if you know Zoe, she has anxiety, she is a good photographer, and she has a blog where she write all her feeling, thoughts, and ideas. This book is like Zoe's life story in fictional form. Marcus has a book about himself, Taylor Oakley has a book about his life too, and so many other Youtuber. Zoe was just bringing out her creativity and writing her life story in a fictional form. She loves writing, she loves being true to herself, and I believe she worked equally as hard as the writer to finish this book.

The message in this book was not only to get out of your comfort zone and fight your anxiety but also to not send hate though social media. If you have nothing nice to say, it's better not to be said. Zoe addressed at the end of her book that being mean and rude to other people online is never okay and it's never nice. You may be seeing their video or reading their blog post but you do not know them entirely. One video of them is only 10 minutes of their 24 hour life. One blog post is only a ruler long of their thoughts.
