Girl Online: Going Solo ~ Zoe Sugg a.k.a Zoella

The third novel in the New York Times bestselling Girl Online series by the award-winning YouTuber and blogger Zoe “Zoella” Sugg.

Penny’s life is back to normal.

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, who she can really help with her stage fright. 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 around every corner?

Book Review:

So, it has been about a month since I finished this book, I just haven't had time to blog anything really. College is so crazy. 

Anyway, the book was a great ending to the trilogy. Sugg, ended it beautifully, it made my heart flutter. The book was a bit slow going at first, it took me a bit to really get into. For some reason, I felt that I couldn't really resonate with Penny as much as I previously had in the first two books, but that just displays her character development. I missed the old banter between her and Elliot, there wasn't as much, but when it did show up, I was so happy with it. 

As this is the last installment in a trilogy, it is hard to say much without giving anything away, but I will go my best. The character development for Penny is phenomenal. She is so much more confident in herself, she knows what she wants and she goes for it. She is okay with being independent and she is even helping other people. I see a lot of Sugg's personality within Penny. I really love that. I really did miss Noah and you could tell that Penny did as well, so his reentrance was incredible. I loved how their storyline ended. Sugg did a brilliant job!

Unravel Me ~ Tahereh Mafi

Juliette has escaped to Omega Point. It is a place for people like her—people with gifts—and it is also the headquarters of the rebel resistance.

She's finally free from The Reestablishment, free from their plan to use her as a weapon, and free to love Adam. But Juliette will never be free from her lethal touch.

Or from Warner, who wants Juliette more than she ever thought possible.

In this exhilarating sequel to Shatter Me, Juliette has to make life-changing decisions between what she wants and what she thinks is right. Decisions that might involve choosing between her heart—and Adam's life.

Book Review:

I find this trilogy and it's novellas to be so intriguing. This world is very dystopian  but when you throw in the gifts that some of these people have, it's very fantasy.  It reminds me of a mix of the Divergent series and any Marvel series ever. 

The characters in this book developed so much more, especially Juliette who finds a strength in herself but is still so very vulnerable and Warner towards the end when we learn more of his back story. Also some of the secrets that come out in this book are just unreal!!!

The only downside is that I wish we got to see more of the brotherly love between Adam and his little brother, like we did in the Shatter Me. I felt that without that, I kind of lost touch with Adam in a way.

Book Discussion: SPOILERS:

I need to finish this series for a few reasons:

1) I need to know what is going on with this strange love triangle.

2) WHO DOES JULIETTE END UP WITH?

3) Does Adam ever tell Warner that they are half brothers?

4) What is that story? Is his little brother Warner's half brother too?

5) Can someone please finally kill Anderson?

So as mentioned, this whole half brother thing is really taking me for a loop. Just, WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK!?!?! Oh and if that isn't enough, Juliette has feelings for both of them! This entire situation is just screwed up!
