Publisher's Synopsis
Susan Blanc, the protagonist and narrative voice, teaches psychology at a university in Los Angeles.
She lives alone and suffers from insomnia.
One night, at a nightclub, she meets Nick, a blogger who seemed to be "consumed by something, someone, or himself."
When they meet again the next day, Nick takes her to his apartment, and while browsing through Nick's books looking for ideas for a story to post on Nick's blog, Susan finds a "consumed notebook with a light blue cover." Nick explains that it's a journal someone lost on a bus and that the writing and the drawings it contains made him want to keep it and try to return it to its owner.
The author is a graphic novelist, his name is Andrew, but that's all he knows about him. After leafing through its pages, Susan convinces Nick to post excerpts of the journal on Nick's blog. She believes the journal will resonate with the readers, and that the readers might help them find the unknown artist.
As they read and write, search and explore, Nick and Susan's stories melt with the artist's story, in a cocktail of passion, sex, lies, and self-discovery.
