Allen and Unwin (allenandunwin) | 87 comments Hi Aussie Readers, and welcome to another brilliant book giveaway!

Enter to win one of 10 copies of Search History by Amy Taylor, a sharp and funny debut novel about dating in the internet age.

After fleeing to Melbourne in the wake of a breakup, all Ana has to show for herself is an unfulfilling job at an overly enthusiastic tech start-up and one particularly questionable dating app experience. Then she meets Evan. Charming, kind and financially responsible, Evan is a complete aberration from her usual type, and Ana feels like she has finally awoken from a long dating nightmare.

As much as she tries to let their burgeoning relationship unfold IRL, Ana can't resist the urge to find Evan online. When she discovers that his previous girlfriend, Emily, died unexpectedly in a hit-and-run less than a year ago, Ana begins to worry she's living in the shadow of his lost love. Soon she's obsessively comparing herself to Emily, trawling through her dormant social media accounts in the hope of understanding her better. Online, Evan and Emily's life together looked perfect, but just how perfect was it? And why won't he talk about it?

Search History is a sharply funny debut novel about identity, obsession and desire in the internet age from one of the most perceptive and original new voices in Australian fiction.

‘[A] quick-witted debut novel . . . Amy Taylor writes in crisp and clever strokes. . . . Search History is a light-hearted and earnest take on the challenges that courting has for those eager to hit search before the reply button.’ BOOKS+PUBLISHING

‘Perfectly captures the tragedy and comedy that is living and loving online . . . with wit, humour and insight.’ DIANA REID
