I almost stopped reading this book after getting quite far into the first half, waiting for something to happen. It felt too on-the-nose and didn't have much more to add to the conversation around social media (although Lockwood did write everyone's thoughts out beautifully). After finding a review that promised a change of pace in the second half, I decided to press on.

What I found was a beautifully written, emotional story of a family making the best out of a terrible situation. It was inspiring seeing the family come together to support the sister and baby after a scary diagnosis. The book masterfully demonstrates what it means to love, to care. I found that the book touched on the title's theme quite a bit more briefly than expected, and quickly shifted to the main character's life being less involved with social media, but it felt natural.
