'Girl Online' for me was east-to-read and gripping, i love a good contemporary to snuggle up with under a blanket with a mug of hot cocoa on a winters night and 'Girl Online' is just perfect for that.
it was a tale of first love and friendships and because of that i feel that it is quite educational particularly for teens and young adults who may be just beginning to experience these things.
'Girl Online' also explores mental health issues such as anxiety and the impact that it can have on a young person.
it is a very relatable story especially the teenage audience for these reasons.
i feel that mental health is not something talked about too much in this day and age and it is something that a lot of young people tend to be more secretive about. i think that 'Girl Online' could be that bit of motivation that people might need in order to be more open about the topic, especially since it is coming from someone who has a voice to a large number of people who might be experiencing something similar.
I thoroughly enjoyed reading 'Girl Online' and for that and everything else stated above i give it a solid 5/5 stars.
