I'm not going to read this book as it's really not the kind of book that massively appeals to me, but after hearing all of the hype (both around Zoella and the ghostwriter) I wanted to know what it was about and if it was any cop. And I've got to be honest, I wanted to know what the twist was! So thank you - you've summed it up perfectly, saved me lots of time and £5 :) xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02900777282658393686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-342984045867368820.post-66770560073361875192014-12-12T13:25:00.564+00:002014-12-12T13:25:00.564+00:00I saw the list of 10 things about Anxiety in the b...I saw the list of 10 things about Anxiety in the book and i was totally disgusted, how she can portay a mental health issue like a walk in the park is beyond me.

I thought it would be an autobiography of Zoe and her personal journey from blogger to Youtuber to rising star. What it turned out to be doesn't seem like something that would keep me interested and I'm SO thankful somebody gave an honest review of it!

The fact that the protagonist gets better once she meets a boy seems highly old-fashioned. Sounds like it's full of stereotypes and cliches, its a shame as Zoella really had an opportunity to write something progressive and reach out to all her younger females and speak out about empowerment, but clearly not...<br /><br />Great post Becky :)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.themakeupdirectory.co.uk" rel="nofollow">The Makeup Directory</a>Sallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11965402408942331658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-342984045867368820.post-81386354032594801762014-12-11T18:56:26.041+00:002014-12-11T18:56:26.041+00:00Thanks for the honest review!

I sometimes felt like it might have been written in a rushed manner because of the inaccuracies. The ideas and messages are there but it was not thought out as well as it could have been. natashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09974363705164139406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-342984045867368820.post-22973281997449734362014-12-11T18:13:57.152+00:002014-12-11T18:13:57.152+00:00It's interesting Penny learns to come clean an...It's interesting Penny learns to come clean and faces up to her online scandal.

Surely somebody who deals themselves with anxiety should have know better or atleast when she did not write it herself, have intervened when she read it. Or if you do not feel like portraying it correctly, maybe for go it completely? I do not expect more from the general media but more from somebody who likes to be seen as an ambassador for mental illness.Sciencekoekjehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07144429605451667652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-342984045867368820.post-58969165453421170482014-12-11T16:45:02.050+00:002014-12-11T16:45:02.050+00:00Right, I'm off to dump my boyfriend because he...Right, I'm off to dump my boyfriend because he hasn't cured my anxiety yet!Liz Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02627528186914332213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-342984045867368820.post-37059433024536785512014-12-11T15:12:50.391+00:002014-12-11T15:12:50.391+00:00there seems to be a lot controversy going on for t...there seems to be a lot controversy going on for this book.
