When I first saw this book and read about it, the idea sounded interesting and important. Especially in an age where everyone is attached to technology, myself included.

Maybe I should have done a bit more research or paid closer attention to the description of the book, but I didn't realize this was going to be a book that preached the Bible and Christianity, and what is right and wrong. While I would love to write a super extensive rant about this book. I won't. It's not worth the effort. I will simply say if you are not a religious person, do not read this book. I'm halfway through and I feel like I have sat through an hour-long sermon about what is sinful and what is not.

Again, maybe it's my own fault for not paying closer attention to the description, but this is not what at all what I thought it was going to be. This is an important topic, and this book most certainly does not cover it.

I will finish it, purely because I refuse to put a book down, no matter how much I don't like it.

Thank you Netgalley for the opportunity to preview this ARC of Connected.

Erin Davis is a Christian woman who is well versed in the bible, which she uses to help perpetuate connections, especially for the lonely.

I'll be honest, I have a hard time with self helps that are written by anyone other than scholars and those with the credentials that qualify them as experts. I definitely appreciated her kind earnestness and enthusiasm, but if I were genuinely struggling, I don't know that I would have found this very helpful.

I wanted to like this book but was VERY turned off by all of the religious references.
