I really liked this book because of its gripping cliffhangers, exciting writing style that kept you on your toes and the hilarious jokes and puns slipped in. This book is one of my favourites because one day I would love to be an internet vlogging sensation just like Annabelle/Daphne. I felt so sorry for Annabelle when she had to move away from her BFF and start at an American middle school, where she knew no-one. I think I would recommend this to anybody who wants to be a vlogger (i.e. me), people who like drama and people who like gripping secrets. The end is heartwarming and I wouldn't recommend the book to anyone who doesn't like fun!
