What if you typed your name into the search engine
Google.com and found a web-site devoted to you? Izobel
Brannigan is surfing the Internet at work when she
discovers that someone has created a fan site devoted to
her, with pictures, commentary and scrolling banner texts.
Izobel is alternately flattered and freaked out,
particularly since she can't figure out who's behind the
site.
As Izobel and her best friend, Maggie, hunt down all of her
ex-boyfriends and anyone else who might be a suspect, new
photos of Izobel begin to appear on the website. Izobel's
paparazzi photos aren't glamorous, but she notices that her
boring work in a PR office and her older alcoholic
boyfriend aren't part of the admirable life that her
website describes. Can the real Izobel Brannigan ever
compare to the virtual version celebrated in cyberspace?
And how can she track down her Prince Charming?
Don't worry -- this is not one of those Internet novels
written entirely in e-mails or transcripts. Izobel's
narration mostly focuses on her obsession with her
identity, but an original and very modern plot weaves
through the story. What better way to showcase an identity
crisis than through a character's ego surfing on the
Internet? This CYBER CINDERELLA story will capture your
heart and before it delivers the happily-ever-after.
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?
