Username: Evie by Joe Sugg
4.0

I wanted to read this book because I have followed Joe Sugg since the earlier days of YouTube. I am reviewing this in 2021 but I originally read it in 2017.

The main character is a young girl in high school called Evie. She is a bit of an outcast at school, and she is feeling very lonely. Her cousin, Mallory is the Queen Bee at the school. Evie dreams of a place of safety. All she wants to do is escape from reality. Evie’s father is ill and dying. He comes close to creating a virtual reality. However, he passed before he can finish it and he left her a key in the form of an app. Evie gets transported to a world where the population is influenced by her personality. Everyone shines in her presence. However Mallory discovers the app and the power causes trouble in Evie’s perfect world. This is a young adult science fiction graphic novel.

I really enjoyed this graphic novel. This was the first one I read and it was a quick read but I really enjoyed the storyline. I love how kickass these characters are however Mallory annoyed the living daylights out of me. It is a beautiful book and the drawings are fantastic and the writing is brilliant. I wouldn’t say there was any weaknesses, I enjoyed this novel and it was a good one considering this was the first time I read a graphic novel. I gave it 4 stars because it was an easy read and I cannot wait for the next book in his series.
