"As a fan of LIVEBLOG from back when it was still digital, so I've
had quite a while to compose my thoughts on it. The depiction of
ennui in Boyle's prose remains unrivaled; Her inspirational
dedication to the liveblog project has brought one of the most
empathetic books of the year." -Jean-Luc Goyard,

"I read the first 30 pages first thing this morning while drinking
coffee in bed. I feel really awake now and I think that's more from
the book than the coffee." -Ben Collins, Stephanie--Ben Collins
"I've said it before and I'll say it again: Megan Boyle is a
genius. Long an online legend and a mythological beast, LIVEBLOG is
a masterpiece. It is going to change things in this boring ass
world of books." -Scott McClanahan, The Sarah Book--Scott
McClanahan
"Megan Boyle attempts the impossible: a to-the-minute description
of everything that happens to her. Like Zeno's arrow that never
reaches its target, the project is truly impossible, but in the
margins we find something better: a life, a struggle, an
irrepressible style." -Michael Hessel-Mial, greatest poet
alive--Michael Hessel-Mial
"Megan Boyle has written the Bible for the 21st century. Like the
other Bible, it contains just about everything-- love, fights,
failures, insecurities, moms and dads, strange observations,
hermeticism, and meaning. LIVEBLOG is a painfully honest and raw
record of a person's life, filtered through a keyboard and not much
else." -Juliet Escoria, Black Cloud--Juliet Escoria
"You may not know whether it's pronounced 'live' or 'live', and
that won't dampen how Liveblog helps you notice you're peculiar.
You are as obsessive, self-conscious, intriguing, confused, and
curious as Boyle is. You probably just didn't write 269,000 words
documenting why." -William Kaye, @williamkaye_--William Kaye
I can't think of a better way to ruin your life than doing exactly
this. Somehow Megan came out of the experience alive and with most
of her friends (the good ones, at least), and with a book that
isn't just 900 descriptions of meals. This is definitely the only
time I've ever thought of a writer as heroic. Yep, Megan most
certainly is the strongest heroine in the alt lit scene. -Thomas
Morton, Vice--Thomas Morton
"Bold, honest, relentless. A shocking insight into the mind of a
complete sociopath." - @displayglancer
"I heard I'm a character in this book, which I did not read. I
haven't read a book in over a year and I do not plan on reading
another book in the future." -Sam Cooke, visual artist--Sam
Cooke
"I worked at a pizza parlor with Megan Boyle. I used to just think
of her as the woman who made the pizza but now i think of her as a
friend i can trust, the way i'd trust a neighbor or a tenant.
LIVEBLOG is a work full of integrity, and Megan Moyle is a writer
full of integrity." -Joseph Grantham, Tom Sawyer--Joseph
Grantham
"Megan Boyle is Edie Sedgwick but she gets out of the bottom of the
pool. She comes back to life. She outlives Andy." --Elizabeth
Ellen, author of Person/a--Elizabeth Ellen
"Pushing confessional writing to its limits, LIVEBLOG forces
everyone to be aware of their roles, in relation to each other. I
am the watcher and Megan is the watched and between us is a
distance. It is akin to Marina Abramovic in the MoMA, and Amanda
Bynes' twitter. LIVEBLOG is life on display. LIVEBLOG is a
commitment. It is the final frontier. After this, we must find
something else. Or not." -Gabby Bess, Broadly--Gabby Bess
