Synopsis

Evie Rosen has had enough. She's tired of the partners at her law firm e-mailing her at all hours of the night. The thought of another online date makes her break out in a cold sweat. She's over the clever hashtags and the endless selfies. So when her career hits a surprising roadblock and her heart is crushed by Facebook, Evie decides that it's time to put down her smartphone for good. (Beats stowing it in her underwear—she's done that, too!)

And that's when she discovers a fresh start for real conversations, fewer distractions, and living in the moment, even if the moments are heartbreakingly difficult. Babies are born; marriages teeter; friendships are tested. Evie may find love and a new direction when she least expects it, but she also learns that just because you unplug your phone doesn't mean you can also unplug from life.

The theme was supposed to be about disconnecting from social m......more

Goodreads review by Pam on December 03, 2016

I loved this debut about a woman who responds the the unexpected curve balls life throws at her in career and love (all at once!) by unplugging entirely and for good. You will laugh and feel and wonder what it would be like if we all looked up from our screens for awhile. Enjoy!......more

I had THE BEST time reading this book, cover to cover. I mean, I loved it. In the beginning of the book, Evie and her smartphone are like one entity. She arrives dreadfully late for a very special wedding because she can't put her phone down. She has a wardrobe + phone mishap because she has no pock......more
