Read this quirky and funny debut novel where Izobel is shocked to find a website devoted to her and her very exciting, but certainly not real, lifestyle and decides this is her chance for love as she searches for its creator. Izobel Brannigan is an ordinary girl, working a good but dull public relations job, and with a lousy -- but slightly less dull -- boyfriend. Out of boredom, she decides to Google herself and finds an entire Web site devoted to her, describing a fun, exciting, and glamorous lifestyle that she's certain she's not living. Curious, she starts searching for the mysterious admirer who thinks so highly of her, and no one is safe from her questions. Her friends, her coworkers, old boyfriends...even new flames are all at risk. The more she searches, the more her life begins to reflect what she read on the Internet. After dumping the boyfriend and doing some serious soul-searching, Izobel begins to wonder who's more real: Izobel Brannigan the person, or Izobel Brannigan.com?… (more)

"... a HUGE disappointment!!! I could only make it through the first 20 pages or so before I got bored and had to force myself to finish ..... and THEN .."

Standard Brit-Chick-Lit. Nothing surprising and the ``mystery" is easily solvable by around page twenty. It's a mindless read, but that's all it promises. ( )

I am sorry to say that this book was a major disappointment. Izobel Brannigan was an extremely irritating character who could never be happy with her life or her choices. In the end she does change that but only after an incredibly boring journey. The book was not at all what I expected from the back’s synopsis where I was looking forward to reading a book about someone discover a website about them selves and in their journey to discover the creator, ended up falling for them. Not some boring, unhappy woman, freaking out at every turn about someone stalking her and falling for this techie helping her only to find that the site was created by a woman. I would definitely not recommend this book, even as a lazy, don’t really want to think read kind of book. I rarely give bad reviews as I was taught that every book has some redeeming value, but this one has the least of any book I have read since joining librarything.com. ( )

Truly awful British "chick lit." Hits every cliche and blows through them as if this had been excreted from some sort of assembly line. Why do I torture myself by reading this kind of crap? And yet, the fault is all my own. No false advertising on the dust jacket. ( )
