Search History - Amy Taylor
Publication Date: Nov. 7, 2023
She read
After a breakup, Ana moves from Perth to Melbourne to start afresh working at a startup in an uninspiring job. She meets Evan and begins a relationship with him. At first, she resists doing an internet search to find out more about him. When she succumbs, she discovers his last partner, Emily, died in a bike accident almost a year ago, but Evan never mentions her and is resistant to any discussion about her. Soon Ana finds herself obsessed with all things Emily.
I enjoyed this debut novel. Quite contemporary, there is humor and poignancy. Taylor captures well the angst so many women go through in life, walking on eggshells, calculating how their significant other might or might not react to what they say or do. Women have always had to deal with so much in dating relationships; Search History illustrates how our tech obsessed world compounds these issues.
