For as long as Katie O'Farrell can remember, she has dreamt of becoming an author. Along with her three university friends, she formed the Writing Sisters quartet, each promising not to give up until all four were published. But as her friends' careers flourish, Katie's rejection letters pile up, and the pressure from their social media success becomes overwhelming.

When an email sent to the wrong person turns her world upside down, Katie makes a drastic decision: to log off completely—from both digital life and the world beyond her door. Only in the silence that follows does she contemplate whether her dreams are worth pursuing at all. She vows never to write another word, but what about that secret story that has been begging to be told since childhood?

Logged Off is a charming, witty novel about authorial ambition that asks: Must we always be connected? What happens when social media becomes too much? And most importantly—is true friendship strong enough to forgive anything?
