This book was part personal reflection and part self help. Emma reflects on how the pandemic has forced us all to embed our lives more in the online world. Work, social hour, and family connections have all had to become digital and they're all continuing to stay digital. The work expectation now is that people have a constant online presence and respond to emails almost instantly. Social media continues to encourage people to post things that are "like-worthy" and not always honest or real. All the things that are supposed to connect us with one another are really just disconnecting us.

I loved that at the end of each chapter there were suggestions for how to disconnect in healthy ways. This book was definitely an eye opener and made me re-evaluate my own relationship with the online world.

Thank you to NetGalley for this ARC!

The prompts were very helpful and I will be thinking about them and reflecting on my own social media habits.
