Ok, so it's currently 21 minutes past midnight and although I am writing this with no intention to post it until tomorrow (I need to get in the habit of a schedule), I need I write this while it's still fresh in my mind.
I came home this weekend to spend with my family and best friend! Today (Sunday) I have had the nicest day with my family, which ended by me curling up on the sofa, finally getting a chance to read Girl Online (by Zoella, if you didn't already know).
And honestly, I know her book seems to be such a controversial subject, but I love it!!!! I can completely understand why everyone is complaining because they feel she wasn't truthful about there being a ghostwriter etc... But c'mon, if you have always wanted to write a book, and a huge publishing company approached you asking if you wanted to make this dream come true, would you honestly turn down this opportunity? No, no one would. I can imagine writing a book isn't easy, so of course she got help with it, along with many other authors... Yes, it may not seem right that Zoe didn't state the fact that the book was ghost written, but if you were caught up in a whirlwind of success would you?
I honestly got completely lost in Girl Online, to the point where I finished it in 5 hours only putting it down once to 1) go to the toilet and 2) drink a cup of tea.
I'm not going to give anything away about the book incase you haven't read it and are planning to, but it is such a light hearted, easy read. If you are a fan of Zoe, you will completely see her personality shine through. I have been watching for years now and even if her name wasn't on the front of that book, I would have guessed it was, shall we say created, by her.
It honestly saddens me that Zoe is getting so much hate from this. She is so young and has developed through her blog and YouTube channel so much. Although everyone is focusing on the negatives of this, it is encourages young girls to read, which is something that doesn't happen so often when everyone is caught up in the online world, also that her book has some great tips on how to deal with things such as panic attacks, anxiety, friendships and boys! (Really trying not to give too much away here!). I just feel there is no need for so much negativity over this, when 1) it isn't the first time a book has been ghostwritten, 2) there is so many positive aspects of this book!!
What do you think of the whole Girl Online ghostwritten situation? Let me know in the comments, I would love to hear your opinions (good or bad)
Thanks For Reading,Love Abi x
