A thing you can't live with, but you can't live without

I joined Facebook many years ago and couldn't see the point of it. Very quickly though, it became very addictive.

I enjoy the fact that you can share photos with people and I use the messenger quite a lot, to privately talk to my friends.

In general though, I think that this is a good way for your time to be sucked away. It's also a way for your confidence to be lowered, when you see friends getting more 'likes' than you or you see people doing more interesting things than you. That's why I've cut my use of Facebook down, significantly of late.

One thing that has become increasingly annoying, is the fact that when I find something of interest and when I want to show someone else, I can't find it again. The content you see, differs depending on whether you look at it on your mobile, or your tablet etc.

I also don't like the different adverts and random videos that Facebook shows you. I feel like Facebook is in control of what I see, rather than only seeing the content my friends have shared.

Facebook has a lot of negatives but unfortunately, it's a necessary evil, because so many people use it to communicate nowadays.

Such a heartwarming read

I loved this book and I could not put it down. I loved how most of the book focused on 1983 and it wasn't 50/50. This isn't a book I would normally read but the blurb really got my attention and I am so glad I decided to give it a go. The book made me smile and I was thrilled when things went well for Peggy. I felt like I was emotional invested in the characters. It was so easy to get into and continue reading. I didn't want the book to end.
The book/story flowed so well.
I loved seeing Peggy gain confidence that she never had in her 'present'. It just shows what she could of been had people been nicer to her. She fit in so well into 1983 but that could be because she was meant to be there with the way she dressed, the movies she watched and the music she listened to.
I believe I was above the age of the targeted audience as I feel this should be teens/young adults but I do believe anyone can read and enjoy it.
The end of the book said 'to be continued' and I cannot wait to read the next installment.
I received a complimentary copy of the book from the author via Voracious Readers Only.
