Do you ever wonder about the social media platforms we spend so much of our time on, and how we relate to them as users?

In ‘Break the Internet’ Olivia Yallop, who works as a digital strategist,  explores the role that social media plays in our lives and in our society as a whole in a critical way. Yallop dives into the history of social media, offers an insight into the lives of some of the biggest influencers of this time and finds out what it takes to become an influencer herself.

It took me a while to get into this book, as it starts off quite dry with a lot of quotes and numbers on social media and influencer marketing. This really changes in the chapters where the author shows more of her own personal journey and gives a deeper insight into the lives of the influencers she speaks to and made me really enjoy the book as a whole. 

This is an very interesting read for anyone who spends their time on social media like ourselves! 

Thank you to Scribe UK for this gifted copy!
