Bo Burnette has been writing and publishing books for more than a decade—which is long enough to know better and, apparently, not long enough to stop.
His newest book, Chronically Online is a funny, tender look at love, friendship, ambition, and the increasingly complicated business of being a person on the internet. Bo is drawn to flawed people, carefully curated lives, and the moment the version of ourselves we present to the world collides with the truth.
His previous work traverses genres, from the World War II biography Denver and the Doolittle Raid to the short story Finding Viola and the medieval adventure trilogy The Reinhold Chronicles. He has never been especially interested in staying in one lane—only in finding the next story worth telling.
He lives near Atlanta, Georgia, with his wife, daughter, and their cat.
If you’ve ever found yourself opening social media for the 10th time in a row looking for something, but you’re not sure what, look no further.
“Chronically Online” is a love letter to those facing the insurmountable challenge of finding where to belong in a rapidly-evolving world and a celebration of the fast-paced yet often unpredictable online experience available at the touch of our fingers.
Oliver Price embodies something we can all relate to at some point or another—messing up despite our very best intentions.
This story grapples with what’s at stake when we let our mistakes consume us, grasps at the essence of reinvention, and most importantly, addresses the latent anxiety of somehow missing something or being missed.
Cleverly modern, relatable whether you are on or offline, this book is one you won’t want to put down!
Such a good read! I was hooked from the very beginning, and there were so many unexpected twists and turns that I genuinely had no idea how it was going to end. I found myself really relating to Oliver, the main protagonist, which made the story even more enjoyable. There were also some hilarious lines that made me laugh out loud. I really enjoyed this one!
