Thank you so much for the opportunity to read this book. Unfortunately it’s not the book for me. DNF @ 15%.

** spoiler alert ** This was an enjoyable quirky read. It reminded me so much of Angus, Thongs and Full Frontal Snogging in the way that the main character acted. I enjoyed the integration of all the various social media platforms and how they are incorporated into the modern dating world. The part where Emma met up with the 13 year old, who she thought was 17, made me LOL literally!! Where this book lacked for me was that it felt like it was just repetition of the same scenarios. I wasn't completely satisfied with the ending either, but gave it 3 stars as it still was enjoyable.

THANK YOU TO HARLEQUIN TEEN AUSTRALIA & NETGALLEY FOR GIVING ME AN EGALLEY OF THIS BOOK IN RETURN FOR AN HONEST REVIEW

This was definitely an interesting read that was quite different to what I expected it; from the blurb below I thought it would be quite similar to Zoe Sugg’s Girl Online series, but it was definitely more mature and looked into the darker side of the web.

I'm not sure I thoroughly enjoyed the layout of Editing Emma, with it being all blog posts, instead of a standard narrative format interspersed with her blog posts. But that was only minor issue and as I continued to read, it didn't bother me as much. I just wanted to get more of a perspective on what was happening overall, rather than just her perspective as her ‘voice’ became quite grating at times.

I hate to say it but the character of Emma was really tedious at times, I had to keep reminding myself she is also a teenager, and all teenagers have their melodramatic tendencies. I loved Steph and Faith, they were good friends to her and they had to put up with a lot. I never really warmed up to Gracie, but with good reason. But Emma was just quite frustrating at times especially how close minded she was to what was happening in other people's lives. That being said, what drove me absolutely crazy was Emma's attitude towards the breakup, and then how she treated the next guy she dated. Plus her unhealthy obsession with her first relationship, she slept with a used Band-Aid, in a Ziploc bag under her pillow.... that is just all kinds of weird.

Like I said above, this book gave me some Girl Online vibes, except where Zoe Sugg’s series is super sugar-coated and cutesy, this teen actually blogs about her sex life, sexual thoughts, and a lot more in-depth than I anticipated, and you know hats off to her that takes guts to be that honest online. Even if its just your Mum and friend reading.

Overall, I enjoyed this book, not entirely sure I think I will feel the need to read it again, but I am definitely intrigued to see what Chloe Seager does next.

Funny, quirky, refreshing, and not too unrealistic. Fun, modern YA :)

I'm always apprehensive about reading books in this format. I found the blog format confusing and hard to keep up with, which hindered my overall experience. I got about halfway through and seriously considered DNF'ing the book. It was hard to see where and how the story was actually progressing, because I'm so used to having an actual narrative to follow.
The synopsis drew me in and unfortunately didn't deliver for me.
It was just a case of, it's not you, it's me.

I really enjoyed this book. Although it was nearly entirely done through blog posts and messages it flowed well.

Editing Emma had a lot of themes that I'm sure teenagers these days can relate to and it was quite refreshing to see Emma and her friends all (mostly) discussing masturbation openly and showing that 'yes, this is something girls do too!'

Although Emma isn't always likable and I would find myself getting frustrated with her, I think back to times in my teenaged years and think "oh wow, was I REALLY like that?" and can see how this could be a realistic portrayal of a teenaged girl just trying to work out who she is.

*A review copy of this book was provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own. I would like to thank the publisher for the copy*

I dont think I have laughed so hard reading a book in a long time... I literally laughed out loud. Editing Emma is a funny, light and very relatable read; I think all girls have experienced the dilemmas that Emma goes through in this book which makes it even more great!

This story reminded me so fondly of the Georgia Nicolson series by Louise Rennison, just your average teenage girl struggling to decipher the mystery that are the opposite sex while also trying to figure out herself in the world.

What I loved about this book was how real it was, it didn't beat around the bush or sugar coat anything, it depicted girls as the beautiful, messy creatures that we are.

My only issue with this book was some of the minor characters frustrated me, however I think that was mostly due to the age difference between myself and the characters in the book. I look back and realise that is exactly how I acted at 16 haha.

If you are need of a laugh I would definitely recommend Editing Emma, it will take you back to all the awkward hilarious struggles of growing up.

How annoying is Emma! Im sorry but this book was not what I was expecting at all and I founď it hard to like the characters.

I was confused at first with how his book was set on the epub because I couldn't understand what was being posted online or what she was talking about. It was strange because at times I would think she is talking online but she is just talking in her mind. Either way not that big of an issue because the publishers couldn't fix that. A word to describe this book though is embarrassing. In every few lines Emma just does something stupid and is slowly digging her grave.
There were many parts that were cringy and I know I'm not the sweetest person alive but I know I couldn't do that to myself. The whole book was quiet painful to read but the ending was good because it taught a lesson to:
Always log out of your accounts on other peoples devices and yours even. (I don't but I might start do that).
You don't need a boy to make you whole.
I need to stop wallowing about my problems and look at things at a better perspective.
Overall I think this book had some redeeming qualities and I think 14+ would be suitable to read this as it does contain some sexual scenes that I guess scientifically alright words but I made me uncomfortable for a bit.
2.5/5

I have to stress this book isnt bad i didn't hate it but i didn't love it either.
Editing Emma has both positive and negative aspects for me. On one hand the story is actually quite good and interesting on the other hand it feels like the story was being packed out with a lot of unnecessary stuff to make the book longer.
Emma was quite annoying in the beginning very whiny and immature. while the story progressed so did the Emma. i had mixed feelings about her mother she came across as nice sometimes but there was afew times that she came across as mean (after leon told her to piss off she commented that the only other person who has ever told her to piss off in such an ugly way was her mother) which doesn't seem like something a loving mother would do. Also she doesn't seem to support Emma or help her through what is clearly a tough time.
