Picking this book up at first, was due purely to the colourful imagery on the cover and then the title, I noticed was different to others I've read before as the book is titled girl heart girl and I found out, written by young YouTube Lucy who writes her memoir detailing her coming to terms with her sexuality and finding her girlfriend online.
The couple in real life were still together at the time of Lucy writing and are currently not together although they have a huge following on YouTube I have since discovered.
This book starts out with Lucy depicting the scene of her living in England growing up in Oxfordshire, moving to Plymouth to undertake her film degree and finding her way through all the scenes modern teenagers go through first, high school and dealing with sexuality, whether you like someone or not, dealing with homophobic people in her life and coming out to first her friends, then parents and family.
The memoir is also different in the way a young couple meet through online blog site Tumblr. A bit like a modern fairy tale as what fifteen year old doesn't use the internet!
This book will make you commiserate with the young Lucy, laugh and feel like you are a witness to the actions that have happened so far in her young life.
Simply unput downable, a pleasurable read from cover to cover!
