Hello Bloggerbeans,
When I found out Zoe was releasing a second book to her debut novel Girl Online I was beyond ecstatic. After being so emotionally bound into Penny and Noah's relationship, I couldn't wait to get my hands on Girl Online On Tour and carry on where the last book left off. I have to say I was glued to the book the whole time whilst reading this in January and managed to finish it rather quickly however made sure to take my time when getting to the end of the book as I didn't want to put it down. For my first book of 2016 is was a nice cosy read to get me back into reading during the cold and dark January and was thankful for this little gem of the book.

The book starts off with Noah about to head on his debut Tour with Penny who is heading off with him during the summer touring month however things don't always go to planned. With Penny having so many plans for the supposed 'Best Summer Ever' with mystery cake days in each city they head to, Noah starts to get busier and busier leaving promises broken and their relationship left hanging in the balance. Is Autumn girl and Noah no more? As the book goes on you really start to feel for Penny and how being constantly let down really starts to wear her down. Being someone who has faced a lot of rejection I could totally see how it feels to have the conflicting emotions of keeping quiet and not telling the person that deep down you were really looking forward to it and hiding how you really feel or saying something and making the other person feel bad as in Noah's case it wasn't necessarily his fault with having to rehearse and be whisked away by his manager at no given notice.

Zoe also discusses other prominent issues such as being gay and in the closet and Cyber bullying. Elliot (Penny's best friend) finds himself in a relationship with Alex who is still in the closet to his friends and family. Elliot understands that it takes time yet when a compromising photo of Alex and Elliot ends up circling on social media Elliot's relationship hangs in the balance along with Penny's. I think that Zoe bringing up things like the LGBT community is hugely important message to get out as at the end of the day its okay to love whoever you love regardless of gender. This photo however was taken by Penny on her phone which at the first concert ends up being lost with someone trying to send threatening messages wanting her to break up with Noah with consequences such as the photo being released. Penny ends up having to face a tricky situation and with Zoe touching upon this serious subject matter it will helpfully help her audience know that Bullying in any form, including via the internet is ALWAYS wrong.

The book took me on lots of twists and turns and I love a book with a surprising ending which I didn't predict or suspect which left me very surprised in a good way. Girl Online On Tour was the perfect sequel to such a well received first debut novel. Compared to her first novel I felt this was more aimed towards the YA category more than Girl Online and even though I am at the higher end of the targeted audience for her books really enjoyed them which shows the diversity at which the book caters for. Zoe has managed to get a lot of people back and interested in reading which is such an achievement. Well done Zoe! #Teaminternet has done it again. Until Next time,
