Summary
Jane Knoll doesn't realize it yet, but life is about to take a daring turn. For the past decade, Jane's been able to recapture her sense of peace after years of being bullied. By day she edits marketing jargon, and by night she watches television reruns with her gay neighbor, Larry. She's comfortable. Then, after she meets her new coworker, Eva, television reruns are no longer an option. Too shy to get to know Eva in real life, Jane creates an online alter ego and starts to follow her on Twitter.
Face-to-face, Jane is nothing more than Eva's nondescript, clumsy coworker: a social catastrophe. But, behind the safety of her laptop screen, she becomes confident and empowered with purpose and talent. The two hit it off, and what forms is an undeniable creative union, one with the ability to positively change many lives.
There's just one major problem standing in the way, though. Can she fulfill her purpose and make a change in the world while living the rest of her life as an alter ego? Is she brave enough to reveal her true identity and risk squandering all she's gained by it?
This audiobook delves into the dramatic world of women in love, anti-bullying, sexuality, social psychology, and social anxiety.

Heartwarming story read by the author herself.
Although I didn't love Jane, it was nice to have an imperfect main character who we can all relate to as a flawed human. This, paired with the use of social media brings about a storyline that the modern woman can if not relate to, then certainly buy in to. The only bad thing about this novel is that it doesn't go on longer.

A bit different...but insightful!
Did you have an emotional reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
Yes, I found this very emotional and it did make me cry.
Any additional comments?
I have just finished listening to The Muse, my heart bleeds and I am drained. I found this book so emotive, that I had to listen in stages. Suzie makes you empathize with the characters. I was so drawn into it emotionally, proving Suzie’s ability to make it real. She has a great insight of bullying and social anxiety. For me the book, although harrowing, was beautifully written and if not autobiographic, was well researched. I felt such compassion for for her character, Jane Knoll, but I also screamed at her to own her power. It's not what happens in life, but how you deal with what happens to you. This book should be listened to in schools…well, maybe not the sexy bits, so that young people can understand the damage they are doing to another’s life. Finally, for a first time narration Suzie Carr was spot on!
