Résumé
&“Curious about a new guy, Ana falls into a social media sinkhole when she sees her predecessor: gorgeous, blonde, and dead. . . . This propulsive debut will give you chills.&”—People (Best Books Fall 2023)&“A serious blend of Fleabag and… Rebecca with the pulse of modern-day existence.&”—Weike Wang, author of Joan Is OkayThe truth could be just a scroll away. . . .After Ana flees to Melbourne in the wake of a breakup, all she has to show for herself is an unfulfilling job at an overly enthusiastic tech start-up and one particularly questionable dating app experience. Then she meets Evan. Charming, kind, and responsible, Evan is a complete deviation from her usual type; Ana feels like she has finally awoken from a long dating nightmare.As much as she tries to let their relationship unfold IRL, Ana can&’t resist the urge to find Evan online. When she discovers that his previous girlfriend, Emily, died unexpectedly in a hit-and-run less than a year ago, Ana begins to worry that she&’s living in the shadow of his lost love. Soon she&’s obsessively comparing herself to Emily, trawling through her dormant social media accounts in the hope of understanding her better. Online, Evan and Emily&’s life together looked perfect—but just how perfect was it? And why won&’t he talk about it?Perceptive and original, full of both pathos and humor, Search History explores the contradictions and uncertainties of twenty-first-century romance. Ana&’s journey down the internet rabbit hole of modern dating asks the question: Which is our &“true&” self—the one we show to the world online, or the one we keep to ourselves?
