Description
A humorous gift book that takes a tongue-in-cheek look at our love of social media through a series of 50 hilarious cartoons that complete the question "You Know You're a Facebook Addict When...?" by identifying the more idiotic, embarrassing and cringe-worthy behaviors of our social networking excess.
With over 1 billion people now on Facebook (that's 1 in every 7 people on the planet) and 34% of all users checking their account before brushing their teeth or hair in the mornings, it seems most can confess to an addictive Facebook habit; whether it's stalking an ex, faking bathroom breaks to read news, checking-in wherever they go, or art-directing photo's for the perfect profile pic.
Many get frustrated with the screen-centric behaviors of their Facebook junkie friends, partners, colleagues or family members. Yet telling others to break the habit--or at least tame it--isn't easy.
Author and illustrator, Gemini Adams, inspires them to examine the health of their high-tech habits and possibly consider taking The Facebook Diet by following the funny tech-detox tips that encourage readers to unplug once in a while.
An entertaining gift book for the Facebook junkie in every family.

My ThoughtsAfter reading this book I think that I am addicted to Facebook, as are many many people in this social internet age. We use Facebook for a variety of things, communication with family, sharing what is going on in our lives, recommending and sharing books and recipes and any other thing you can possibly think of we share. I saw myself in a lot of the pictures and descriptions. Am I embarrassed to say that I go on Facebook everyday?? Nope not one bit. So if you are like me you will love this book. A lighthearted book that good naturally pokes fun at our obsession. The author/illustrator did a wonderful job of writing a very entertaining book.I loved it. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a light read.I requested and received this book from Net-Galley and was not monetarily compensated for my review.
