I think this blog is fake

I stumbled upon this blog as a link on someone else's blog, and as entertaining as it is, I think it is fake. What do you think?

The real reason I think it is fake is, how did people find out about it? Did she send the address to a few friends, and it has spread? And in that case, wouldn't that defeat the purpose of remaining anonymous, because her friends would know who she is?

And if it isn't fake, I am sorry to the real author, because having many years ago been in a semi-similar, if not quite so dramatic, situation, I feel for her. Also, it is so detailed, I think she may secretly want "Seth" to find it so that she can let him know her true feelings without outright telling him.

Read it and let me know what you think in the *comment* section below.

I think it is fake. It reads too much like a book. I don't know. It just sounds like she is an English major hoping some publishing company with stumble across her blog and want to make it into a book??? But it is interesting and I can't wait to see what happens next!! LOL

I agree with one of you the other comments left. It reads like a novel, something a budding author may write to gain a following. Real or not, it makes for a somewhat entertaining read.
