Username: Evie by Joe Sugg
2.0

I only have one emotion for this book: bleurrrrrghhhhhh.
Evie is an outcast at school, so her dying father decides to make a virtual getaway for her to grow her confidence and learn to love herself. I would have given it one star, but the father/daughter relationship is notable because of its rarity in teen and YA stories.
Other than that, it's awful. The art style is bland and boring. The writing is simplistic and lends itself more to a children's audience than the upper teens that it's marketed towards. There's no emotion, particularly when Evie's father actually dies - it's all fade to black, with a tiny speech bubble exclaiming 'NO!' and then the standard 'funeral in the pouring rain and thunder' scene.
Youtubers need to stick to what they do best: being irritatingly loud in a small box on a website. (But it's not as though we can even blame Joe Sugg for this monstrosity, as he introduces the 'Sugg Squad' on page one and explains that while he had the idea, the narrative, art and colouring are all done by professionals. What went wrong?!)
