“Oh, don’t judge me, people. We all do it. Don’t try to tell me that you’ve neverchecked that weird mole on your thigh on WebMD. Or how to fold meringue on Epicurious. And, there’s no way that I’m the only one who clears her search history after looking up how to give a great bl— (Um, that last one’s not important.)”
When newspaper reporter Avery Fowler discovers her husband is having an affair, the online help site HowTo.com is naturally where she turns to navigate this challenging stage of her life. Its live chat option gives her a virtual life coach (Clementine, a snippy, British chippy) for the low, low price of $14.95 a month:
“Dear HowTo.com: Is it misleading if I say they’re real?”
“Dear HowTo.com: Help! I think my boss is the Anti-Christ!”
“Dear HowTo.com: If I kill him will it affect my divorce settlement?”
Does Avery have an unhealthy Internet dependency? Probably. Can all life’s questions be answered with a keystroke? Probably not.
Dear Internet: It’s Me, Avery is a romantic comedy that will be of interest to women around the world who’ve ever been screwed over by a guy. Or had a bad hair day. Or tried haemorrhoid cream under their eyes to hide the bags because they read online it might help.

If you loved Bridget Jones' Diary, or the Shopaholic Series, Avery should be the new woman in your life.
