Thank you for Netgalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I thought this book is utterly delightful and insightful.

It is about Andy Bellows, who is advised by his doctor to go on a tech detox to improve his health because he doesn't sleep, has pains and very interesting bowel movements (that last one is not my impression, Andy's bowels are actually very important to him and thus very important to this story, thank you very much).

He does go on said detox and I think you can probably guess what happens.

ABSOLUTE CHAOS.

I mean, I can absolutely relate and I don't even use the internet half as much as some of my friends. But a world without google? Without Instagram and maps and Whatsapp? And yes, even Goodreads... that just sounds EXHAUSTING.

And it is. But it's also so much better for Andy's general wellbeing. For one, he connects with his surroundings more. He also has to navigate a new city without an exact route on his phone. And he starts going on walks, gets more air and less sensory overload.

One positive about going on this detox: he meets the love of his life.
One negative about going on this detox: he has a friend at the local paper who wants to write about him. And Andy is way too socially awkward for that, isn't he? And what happens when he says yes and the article blows up and people suddenly want to meet him??

Well, I suggest you get yourself a copy of Logging Off and find out.

This novel is truly for every single one of us who uses their phone a tad more than necessary. It is a feel good novel, with lots and lots of laughter, romance, friendship and a very odd sense of a 21st century mind going "oh, same!" every couple of pages.

I laughed, I cried, it was lovely. And it even inspired me to leave my phone in the other room once in a while. Just to keep my concentration on things and people that matter in the moment instead of virtual notifications.
