A long time ago, way before Facebook and Instagram, and when no one had even considered
Snapchat, there were blogs. One day, bored at work, Momo, a typical twenty-something,
discovered this curious new underworld of secret diaries. Soon she’s living her life online, baring
her soul and relationships, equal parts funny and pitiful. With blogged stories and anecdotes
spanning a freakishly well-remembered childhood and her then-present, Momo’s blog life opens
doors, eventually taking her from being a young book editor in Melbourne to an English teacher in
Tokyo, navigating earthquakes from under a table. Momo Freaks Out represents a time, a
subculture and a whole lot of silly hijinks in a decade that seems both very recent and distant.
