"Like" is a pretty awesome book. Showing us all of the different ways social media is shaping our world for both the good and the bad. I was excited to read this book because I blog and I am two weeks into beginning my own business. This book has showed me a lot of the things people don't want to see and has reminded me that once you hit send or post it is out there for the world to see and no matter how fast you delete the internet will never forget it or take it back!

With the way we all are with social media I think this book really touched on a number of different aspects of our social interactions. While it is a fiction story, the stories in it can be very real and there are times we hear something similar happening in real life. At first the book came across as dull. Just someone talking about their social media habits but once the initial description of how social media was accessed the story began to take off. I liked the way the interactions where described and how the story not only showed the positive things that can come from all this interaction but also the negative things. There are times when we can forget that there are negatives to all the sharing we tend to do but this book is a small reminder even though it is fiction. It serves two purposes and I am not sure if that was the author’s intention. To remind us that both good and bad can come with what we put out in the world but also to be careful because we never know who we are sharing with. Overall the story and characters were well written. The story was shorter than I expected but it ended in a way that wasn’t lacking and tied everything up neatly.

Is it too corny if I say I really liked "Like"? :) Well, sorry, but it's true. I was already a huge fan of Hopkins' earlier work (Fluke [co-written with David Elliott], Texas Jack, etc.), and I was super excited to read "Like." Let me tell you, it doesn't disappoint! There are several story lines in the novel and they all have a common thread - social media. Let's face it - we all use social media in some form or fashion in our every day lives. And "Like" showcases that fact - whether it's rekindling an old flame, or posting selfies, or for advertising your business or raising money for a worthy cause. There's also the dark side of social media - internet romances, cyber stalking, etc. You never know who's out there lurking...
Go read it! I bet you'll "Like" it as much as I do! ;)
