MITZI BYTES
Reminiscent of Where'd You Go, Bernadette? by Maria Semple, Mitzi Bytes is a funny novel whose dark edges are tinged with suspense, about a heroine for whom triumph is not necessarily destiny. This is a grown-up Harriet the Spy for the digital age, a novel about family and friendship and the perils and pleasures of living life online.
In her twenties, Sarah Lundy started an anonymous blog called Mitzi Bytes, candidly documenting her return to the dating scene after a devastating divorce. Through her blog, Sarah not only found her feet again, but she found her voice, with legions of readers eagerly awaiting her every post. Fifteen years later, Sarah is married with children, ensconced in a comfortable life she loves, and she's still blogging, these days documenting domestic adventures. But nobodynot even her husbandknows about Sarah's Mitzi incarnation, or that she's been sharing the details of their lives with the world, usually in stark detail, no punches pulled. Which means that Sarah is possibly in trouble when she starts receiving threatening emails from the mysterious Jane Q.
Time's up, the first one says. This game is over. You're officially found out.
Over a difficult week, Sarah tries to discover Jane Q's identity first before her secret online self is revealed to the people she cares about. Of Sarah's relationships with friends and family, which has reached this terrible breaking point? Which of the others will be strong enough to withstand the shock of meeting Mitzi face-to-face?
What price will Sarah have to pay for sharing so much of her life onlineeven if what she's written has been the truth all along?
