Rebecca meets Fleabag in a sharply funny debut about dating in the internet age. 

Search History is a novel about identity, obsession and desire in the age of social media and online dating apps, from a perceptive new voice in Australian fiction. Fans of authors Diana Reid, Dolly Alderton and Jessie Tu will enjoy this read and should book now for this event!

When Ana meets the charming, kind and financially responsible Evan online, she feels like she has woken up from a dating nightmare. When Ana can't resist the urge to find Evan online, she discovers that his previous girlfriend Emily died unexpectedly in a hit-and-run. Soon, Ana is obsessively living in Emily's shadow -  comparing herself to Emily, and trawling through her social media accounts to try and work out how perfect Evan and Emily's life really was, and why he won't talk about her.
