Girl Online - Zoe Sugg (Purchase)

So some of you may or may not be aware of Zoe Sugg (or Zoella to her online fans) who is a beauty and fashion vlogger on the world of YouTube. But Zoe has released her first ever novel published by Penguin. Her book release has broken the record for the highest first week sales since record began! so naturally i have gone along to purchase it.

For those who haven't heard much about the book, here is the blurb:

'Penny has a secret.

Under the alias GirlOnline, she blogs about school dramas, boys, her mad, whirlwind family - and the panic attacks she's suffered from lately. When things go from bad to worse, her family whisks her away to New York, where she meets the gorgeous, guitar-strumming Noah. Suddenly Penny is falling in love - and capturing every moment of it on her blog.

But Noah has a secret too. One that threatens to ruin Penny's cover - and her closest friendship - forever.'

Now after having a quick flick through this book i am very intrigued as to how this story pans out, told through a series of blog post's and texts, as well as the generic story sections. I really feel like this could be a modern day story. The blurb leaves us thinking this could be about an isolated girl whose only escape is that within social media, on top of that it looks as if there could be a possible romance/close friendship and then a big drama that could ruin everything...what more could you want from a blurb to draw you in.

I will be reading this book over the next couple of weeks and will report back with a review very soon :)
