I particularly enjoyed Eliza and Her Monsters use of social media - it felt so authentic to me.<br />My favourite book I've read this year so far is Letters to the Lost by Brigid Kemmerer which has a lot of emails, though I suppose that doesn't really count as social media, lol.Sabrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15762635239865326562noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528395365771263864.post-26480061732649825832020-03-14T10:11:29.882-04:002020-03-14T10:11:29.882-04:00That book was so fun and cute.

I remember, when I was teaching, how everyone was on FB, and then BAM! They were done with it, and Twitter was the place, and then Instagram and Snapchat became the places to be. I think it's challenging to feature social media properly and not date the book. Samantha@WLABBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11589486165371852904noreply@blogger.com
