Zoe Sugg, also known as Zoella, is the person behind the biggest-selling debut novel of all time.

The 24-year-old vlogger sold more than 78,000 copies of her first novel Girl Online during its first week. That makes it the fastest-selling debut novel ever and the fastest-selling hardback in 2014.

While it’s not surprising, considering that she has over six and a half million subscribers on YouTube and two and a half million Twitter followers, her name wouldn’t necessarily have jumped to mind.

Zoe has created a massive fanbase with her lifestyle vlog on YouTube. Her book is about a teenager who anonymously blogs about her life, including her relationship with an American pop star.
