Synopsis
Can a guarded gamer girl lower her shield for a new friend… or more-than-friend?"EARNEST AND LAUGH-OUT-LOUD... PITCH PERFECT."—Publishers Weekly, starred reviewThirteen-year-old Ingrid&’s been living a double life. At school, she&’s the Girl With Dead Parents, her popular friend Rachel&’s charity case. Online, things are different: she crushes it in her favorite MMORPG, geeks out in her favorite fantasy fandom, and runs a popular social media account. If only real life were that easy.But when Ingrid finally stands up to Rachel and &“starts drama,&” it suddenly feels like she has no life at all . . . and nowhere to sit at lunch.Until she gets a supersweet wrong-number text from a mystery boy at her school, and everything starts to go right. Spending time together playing Ancient Tomes Online as &“Stitches&” and &“Traveler&” makes her feel like she&’s really connecting with someone. But when she begins to suspect that Traveler may be a popular classmate who is WAY above her in the cool-kid food chain—and whose original text was actually intended for Rachel—she faces a difficult choice. Can they be friends IRL? She wants to open up, but getting close to people has hurt her before.Is making real friends only fantasy after all?Bye Forever, I Guess is the fresh, funny, and deeply sweet middle-grade debut of New York Times bestselling author Jodi Meadows (MY LADY JANE). Speaking to the messiness of middle-school friendships (and first loves), this is a warm, witty, enormously entertaining book—and a love letter to geek culture, gaming, and the healing power of fantasy."HILARIOUS... Charming, funny, and endearing."—Kirkus Reviews"The most DELIGHTFUL middle-grade romcom I've ever read!"—Ellen Oh, award-winning author of Finding Junie Kim
