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 review
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.
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."
