Girl Online: Going Solo

First of all I would like to say I'm sorry for not keeping up my Christmas short stories I had scheduled the posts but they never appeared, so I'm hoping to do it next year. Also if you have had the same problems please leave in the comments below how you solved it (if you have) and if you haven't maybe we could figure it out together.
 Oh by the way Merry Christmas (I know its late but whatever) on with the review.
 
A wild book in it's natural habitat (A.K.A My Room)
 

 
Author: Zoella (Well plot anyway) Siobhan Curham (Writing)
 Series: Girl Online
Genre: Drama, Romance
Age: 11+
My Rating: 8/10
 
As Penny starts the school year she's ready to face the world - alone. Noah has gone off the radar after ending his world tour early and no one, including Penny, knows where he is. So when she accepts Megan's invitation to visit her performing arts school it seems like an opportunity to make some new friends.
Helping everyone else seems to be the right remedy. Elliot needs her friendship more than ever, and she meets Posey - struggling with stage fright and in need of support. But is charming Scottish boy Callum the right kind of distraction? And can Penny truly move on when Noah's shadow seems to haunt her round every corner?
 
If you've read my other Girl Online review you would know I preferred the writing to the plot but in this case the plot was amazing. There were some really good aspects of the plot but I thought it was all really crammed in, like there were some bits I really liked but they just shoved it in at the end or there was bits of an aspect that I thought they dragged out a bit when they could have added in more of the bit they shoved in at the end.
 As I mentioned before there was some bits that had to little time and bits with to much but there were some aspects like Callum who had just the right amount of time (In my opinion anyway.)  
For me the order of most interesting plot in the Girl Online series is as follows...
 
1.Going Solo
2.Original
3.On Tour
 
I'm now starting to really get into the Girl Online series and I hope there is another book coming out.
There is some good blogging tips in there like how to get your blog noticed.
 
???What would be your order for best plot???

The Heart and the Bottle

First of all I would like to tell you that these books are books to read when you have got caught up in the hustle and bustle of Christmas and you don't have time to read a novel. These books are for sharing or reading alone, for babies to grown ups and are perfect late presents (A.K.A presents to buy on Christmas Eve for the person who you have no idea what to get) for everyone.

The Heart and the Bottle By Oliver Jeffers

This little book is so powerful and moving that nearly every time I read it I'm in tears. it's about a young girl who is so curious about the world that one day when her source of knowledge (I think it's her granddad but my mum thinks it's her dad) dies the girl tucks away her heart into a bottle (hence the name.)
 I would recommend this book to everyone and anyone.
 My whole family love this book and I'm sure we will love it for times to come. 
 

Please look out for my next short review tomorrow

P.S Oliver Jeffers is an artist so of course the illustrations are AMAZING
