<b>Can a guarded gamer girl lower her shield for a new friend… or more-than-friend?</b><br><br><b>"EARNEST AND LAUGH-OUT-LOUD... PITCH PERFECT."</b>—<i>Publishers Weekly</i>, starred review<br><br>Thirteen-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.<br><br>But when Ingrid finally stands up to Rachel and “starts drama,” it suddenly feels like she has no life at <i>all </i>. . . and nowhere to sit at lunch.<br><br>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 <i>connecting </i>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 <i>Rachel</i>—she faces a difficult choice. Can they be friends IRL? She <i>wants </i>to open up, but getting close to people has hurt her before.<br><br>Is making real friends only fantasy after all?<br><br><i>Bye Forever, I Guess </i>is the fresh, funny, and deeply sweet middle-grade debut of <i>New York Times</i> 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.<br><br><b>"HILARIOUS... Charming, funny, and endearing."</b>—<i>Kirkus Reviews</i><br><br><b>"The most DELIGHTFUL middle-grade romcom I've ever read!"</b>—Ellen Oh, award-winning author of <i>Finding Junie Kim</i>
