Description

From YouTube sensation Zoella comes a debut coming-of-age novel that perfectly captures what it means to grow up and fall in love in today’s digital world. Girl Online is the first book to be published by Keywords Press, an imprint under Simon & Schuster dedicated to today’s digital stars.

I have this dream that, secretly, all teenage girls feel exactly like me. And maybe one day, when we realize that we all feel the same, we can all stop pretending we’re something we’re not. That would be awesome. But until that day, I’m going to keep it real on this blog and keep it unreal in “real” life.

Penny has a secret.

Under the alias GirlOnline, Penny blogs her hidden feelings about friendship, boys, high school drama, her quirky family, and the panic attacks that have begun to take over her life. When things go from bad to worse at school, her parents accept an opportunity to whisk the family away for Christmas at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City. There, she meets Noah, a gorgeous, guitar-strumming American. Suddenly Penny is falling in love—and capturing every moment she spends with “Brooklyn Boy” on her blog.

But Noah has a secret, too, one that threatens to ruin Penny’s cover—and her closest friendship—forever.

Award-winning and influential YouTube vlogger Zoe Sugg delivers a heartfelt coming-of-age novel that perfectly captures the highs and lows of first love, friendship, and growing up in the digital age.

Featured Reviews

Girl Online: the first novel by Zoella by Zoe Sugg tells the story of a girl, Penny, and how life online can either be wonderful or terrible. This is the story of a teenage girl that is full of mishaps, adventure, love, humor, and courage.


So, being that I don’t normally read a lot of YA I wasn’t sure what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised. I think I will read more of it. I thought this book was a good look at how the online world can impact young adults, and anyone for that matter. I especially enjoyed the blog posts that “girl online” posted being presented in the book and thought it added another level to the book. There is even some good advice in the book if you have anxiety, which I thought was good being that it is targeted to young adults who are trying to figure themselves out which can be anxiety inducing, at least in my opinion.


I really enjoyed reading this and am glad NetGalley has it as a “read now” for a few weeks as I wouldn’t have been able to read it otherwise. Penny is a bit clumsy which at times is charming and at others makes you want to give her a hug. Then there is Elliot a bright walking encyclopedia. Noah a cute musician who hides a secret. These characters make up a wonderful story. If you haven’t read “Girl Online” yet please do, it has a wonderful message.


I acknowledge that I received this book free of charge from NetGalley in exchange for my honest and unbiased opinion of it.
