Girl online review *warning: may contain spoilers*

Hey guys!
I think you all know that youtuber Zoe Sugg aka Zoella brought out a book last year (I wanted to say 'earlier this year' but then realised it's 2015). Ever since it came out I've been dying to have a copy of my own. This year, my grandparents let me order my Christmas presents myself so that they were sure I would really like them (I had a budget ofcourse) and the first I ordered was ofcourse, Girl Online! I don't think I have ever been more excited about a book than I was about this one. Anyways, this intro is getting way too long, let's get on with the review! (:

Let me start by saying that this is a wonderful book! I really like the style it's written in because it reads very easily, my main language is Dutch but it was very easy to read this book.
And while I was reading the book, I could really picture the story in my mind, almost like I was watching a film. And I only do that with very good books!

I really want Noah as my boyfriend because he is just sooooo perfect! And I know we don't actually know what he looks like but from what I made up in my head he looks damn good! And his little sister Bella, omg I fell in love with that little cutie as well!
And I also feel like I am a lot like Penny (the main character) because I often feel like I say the wrong things and care way too much of what others think of me... (The only thing we don't have in common is a Rock-God-tastic famous boyfriend). And I think a lot of teenage girls can relate to that, she is just such a real and honest character. She isn't this perfect teenage girl, she is just a girl like most of the girls, unsecure, not very popular, etc.
But the most important thing about this book is the amount of advice that is in it. The book has these little blog posts in it and they give really good advice, one of them actually really helped me. And especially people with anxiety and panic attacks will find them very helpful!
The book also shows that, how bad your life may seem at a certain moment, it isn't gonna stay like that forever and it's up to you to make that difference!
The whole time while I was reading this book I was like 'this is such an amazing book' and I just felt so proud of Zoe for accomplishing this. It made me realise that if you want something hard enough, you can achieve it.
I can't really tell you much without spoiling everything for the ones who didn't read it yet, but I can tell you this: Zoe did a very very very good job!
