Search history : a novel / Amy Taylor.
"After fleeing to Melbourne in the wake of a breakup, all Ana 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 financially responsible, Evan is a complete aberration from her usual type; Ana feels like she has finally awoken from a long dating nightmare. As much as she tries to let their burgeoning relationship unfold IRL, Ana just 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 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?"-- Provided by publisher.

Can you scroll your way to the truth?
After Ana flees to Melbourne in the wake of a breakup, all she has to show for herself is an unfulfilling job and one particularly questionable dating app experience. Then she meets Evan: the old-fashioned way, at a bar. Charming, kind, and responsible, Evan is a complete deviation from her usual type. Ana tries to let their relationship unfold IRL, but she canât resist the urge to find him online. When she discovers that his previous girlfriend died in a hit-and-run, Ana begins to worry that sheâs living in the shadow of his lost love. The more Ana learns about Evanâs past, the more questions she has: Was his last relationship as perfect as it looks online? And why wonât he talk about it?
Perceptive and original, full of both pathos and humor, Search History explores the uncertainties of twenty-first-century romance. Anaâs journey down the internet rabbit hole of modern dating asks the question: Which is our âtrueâ selfâthe one we should to the world online, or the one we keep to ourselves?
