I like Zoella, I think she seems like such a cute person from her youTube videos and unlike others I don't have a problem with someone from that platform attempting to write a novel, if that's what interests them. What I do take issue with, is the shoddy try at writing. Maybe i'm just the wrong age group and if I were 12 years younger, i'd be swooning all over this book - then again I'd like to give 14 year old me more credit than that. I was so close to DNF-ing multiple times, I made myself stick it out for the purpose of this review as I received a copy from NetGalley. 
 The premise is a socially awkward, clumsy girl - you know the over-used type - called Penny who writes an anonymous blog GirlOnline where she rambles on about absolutely nothing in particular yet somehow manages to get thousands upon thousands of dedicated followers. She goes to New York with her family and best friend and meets this mystery guy, who she likes and starts blogging about, turns out he's super famous and has a girlfriend. 
 I tried to get past all the horrible cliches and below par characters, I really did but the writing wasn't good enough to keep me going, it kept reading like an adult who was trying to remember what it was like to be a teenager and then apply modern analogies. Big fat nope from me. I found myself skimming pages just waiting for it to be over. Also, Penny was DUMB. I don't know whether that was supposed to make her seem cute and ditzy but it did not work for me, the girl was just straight up moronic. 
 It left me wishing I had quit the book when I gave myself the chance.
