  Synopsis 

  I had no idea GirlOnline would take off the way it has - I can't believe  I now have 5432 followers, thanks so much! - and the  thought of opening up to you all about this terrifying, but here it goes..

Penny has a secret.

Under the alias GirlOnline, she blogs about school dramas, boys, her mad, whirlwind family - and the panic's attack she 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.

My Thoughts

First of all, I am a big fan of Zoella, since the last two/three years ago. I have been subscribing and watch her videos. I must say, I love British accents! I envy the fact that my all three cousins, who have been live in the UK, ever since they were a baby (they were born there), they all have those cute British accents! They are all so cute, I must say! and even my mom and dad got to study and live there too. It is one of my dreams to live there.

Oops. I guess I have been too distracted by the cute accents and UK, I must get back to my thoughts over the book that I have read!

So, here it goes, firstly, the cover was cute and shiny with the beautiful lights. The story of a girl name, Penny Potter, who have been through a lot in her life, the struggle over panic attack that she has to cope up throughout her life because of the accident trauma, having to face the friendship broken - eventually because your best friend, has found other great thing to do in her life, that she thought, her best friend was not as cool as she is (ergh, I hate it!) and one way to pull of those things from her mind is her blog about it and she goes by the name - Girl Online! The fact that when she started blogging, she straight away, got more than 100 comments, when I received none. Er...I..envy..that..(?)

I think, in my opinion, it lacks an of...quite lot of things. No! It is not badly written but it wasn't a good one either. But I do understand, this is her first writing, it just the fact that it doesn't affect me so much that I don't even feel sad when there's some unhappy story in it. It just lacks emotion in that sense.

Anyhow, the storyline is quite adorable, the fantasy dream that I bet, everyone has been dreaming of at least once, in their life. Who doesn't want to met a pretty gorgeous guy in somewhere over part of the country and turns out to be a superstar, turns out to be falling in love with you in less than 6 hours, since the first time they met. Its illogically strange but that is what fiction is all about. It is a story that created by you, out of your own imagination.

I nor love or hate the book. It just a little bit of lack of emotion. Nevertheless, I still enjoy reading it, very cute and simple story, not a dragging story, I guess I need to read the sequel, maybe there's a lot more in there!
