review 1: This was fine. Liked the idea better than the execution and, yet again, I didn't like the main character, Mallory, all that much. At least she didn't annoy me, I just didn't find her all that appealing. What I did like was the idea of disconnecting from technology, although Mallory goes too extreme for me here. I think we could all benefit from dialing back on our screen time and focus on making real connections with people- not just online/virtual connections.
review 2: This was a nice and easy read. Mallory finds her boyfriend cheating on her with someone online so she decides to complete a list her grandmother had made when she was Mallory's age. Except I felt like Mallory never really completed the list herself. She had everyone else around her do it while ... moreshe flaked on everyone. I don't think anything was really resolved by the end and the book felt really superficial in the sense that it doesn't really explore anything or go to deeply into the problems presented. I don't really feel like Mallory grew or changed much at the end. I mean we are told she did but we aren't exactly shown that she did. The character is pretty forgettable and nothing special about her. Just a quick Sunday afternoon read to pass time, if that is what you are looking for. less
