Penny, the protagonist of Girl Online, is an 'every girl'. Elements of her personality are identifiable and accessible to most, if not all girls aged 15. She's clumsy, and gets embarrassed quickly, but she's also smart and knows the difference between right and wrong; she knows how to treat people. Silly things happen to her that most would dread, but also amazing things happen to her that one would be lucky to experience. She has friends, but not all of them are nice to her. Her parents are gentle, but they don't always get her.
Penny has a blog, and interspersed throughout Girl Online are blog entries Penny has written. These entries keep the pace of the book flowing, but don't add much - the fact that Penny is a blogger is important to the storyline, but the entries included weren't particularly interesting. Penny heads to New York and meets Noah. Noah is a rock star with the looks to match, quietly spoken and with interesting things to say. He's caring and polite and laughs when Penny spills food; he doesn't make her feel embarrassed for being her.
Girl Online is ultimately a love story, and who doesn't enjoy a love story between two well-crafted and developed characters?
