We can draw it as H-O-O-H . However it is NOT linear molecule. The two H-O bonds are angled to the O-O bonds by about 94.8 o.

Then the lone pairs of electrons on the oxygens repulse each other, so this twists the H-O bonds into two different planes , with and angler of 115 o between each plabne. So it is actually a 3-dimensional molecule.

Have a look in Wikipedia under Hydrogen peroxide.
