Description
Reality and fiction collide when a shy aspiring writer uses her larger-than-life anonymous blog to sabotage a budding relationship between the new girl in school and her childhood friend in this irresistible rom-com that takes notes from Jane Austen's Emma for the social media age.
Shy, introverted Jane lives out a fantasy life in her online blog, where she writes elaborate posts about a teen girl with a glamorous life and a gorgeous boyfriend-two things Jane definitely doesn't have. She only has her writing and her BFFs Camila and Leo, who she shares everything with-except the fact that she's leading a double life online. Jane's real life and her online life do not mix.
Then a new girl named Brynn, who Jane has had a rough start with, begins cozying up to Leo. Jane knows Brynn's totally wrong for him, so when she finds out Brynn follows her blog, Jane does something risky: She starts using her blog to get her way in real life. But when the lines between fact and fiction start to blur, what does that mean for Jane's anonymity, and the real-life relationships at stake?
