Such a relevant story line, I cannot even remember the last time I logged off! Very timely story, with just enough humor and wit thrown in. Would definitely recommend!

I think we can all relate to the main character Andy as he struggles with his addiction to social media. A funny, quick read that had my husband always asking me why I was giggling out loud!

Hmm. I'm not actually sure how I felt about this one. It wasn't really what I had expected, but I do think it will find readership at my library. I've ordered a copy for patrons. Thank you!

Not what I would normally read. I passed this one onto my husband who I think will enjoy it more. I didn't enjoy some of the scenes.

For the last several weeks, while we’ve been at home, away from our friends and families and schools, most of us have relied on technology to keep us informed, educated, and connected. But while technology has its advantages, it also has its disadvantages—as one man learns in author Nick Spalding’s Logging Off.

I haven’t read Nick Spalding for years so looked forward to this. 

Andy is constantly online, like many of us, and it’s not until he gets some unpleasant symptoms and goes to the doctor that he entertains the idea of a digital detox. 
His friend is a journalist and writes some articles on his detox which prove very popular. 
The detox is eventful and in a couple of months Andy’s life has changed. Ironically, he is now influencing other people, despite being offline. 

I found some parts of the story quite funny and it’s a light, quick read. I liked the characters and there’s an eclectic mix! The romance was a little predictable, but as I liked the characters I didn’t mind too much. The ending was good and not rushed. 

The story made me think of how much we rely on technology, probably a lot more than we realise. As the story says, it’s important to find the balance. 

3.5 stars rounded up to 4. 

Thanks to NetGalley and Amazon Publishing for an advance copy of this novel for review.

I’be loved all Nicks books and this is no exception, Nick’s books always make me laugh out loud. I Loved this book not only because of the comedy but also for the message behind it.

This was a laugh out loud read for me. Very relatable subject about our addiction to all things tech. I'm not sure I could cure my addiction to my phone! Well written and very funny as always by Nick Spalding.

This one didn't do it for me. It was well written and at times humorous, making me laugh out loud. Unfortunately, I never connected with the main character.

A very cute novel about struggling with online addiction. Spalding never disappoints. 

Many thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for my ARC. All opinions are my own.

With a relatable main character addicted to the internet, this book had me interested. This book is both very real, but also very funny. Nick Spalding writes humour brilliantly, whilst also delivering a book with a message about technology addiction. 

Step into this book expecting some laughs, but also some hard truths about the world we live in today!

Any book that can make me laugh while being totally relatable will have my attention. With today's world being so digital, we all too often forget to "log off". This book was a great reminder that we need to log off, unplug, and reconnect with the world to find ourselves.

I received a copy for an honest review.  But then I did see the book was in Audio and I heard it.

I really enjoyed my first time reading from this author, and knowing that it had to do in the life we live today all digital.  How can I disconnect myself?  Made me realize a lot how we now cannot live without the internet, when we were growing up, I didn't have all this. Internet addiction.  Something we all should read and separate ourselves.

I really enjoyed the book.

I wanted something lighthearted after reading too many psychological thrillers on the bounce. So, enter Logging Off by Nick Spalding. It is so light and funny to read. I don't think my partner appreciated me chuckling in bed at 11.30pm!! Its the second book I have read of his, and the humour and style of writing is second to none!!

Nick Spalding's Logging Off has a great premise. Who among us doesn't spend too much time online and relying on the internet for everything? How many skills have we lost over the years: map reading, making eye contact, talking to actual humans? Andy Bellows has very little life outside the internet and it's affecting his health. Can he rise to the challenge of his doctor and log off for 30 days? An important message set in a sometimes humorous novel, online addiction is a real problem. Andy is a likable protagonist, however, I had a difficult time connecting to the novel. Written in a way that seems skewed towards men, both in content and tone, I would  have enjoyed the book more with a bit more feminine perspective and a few less poop jokes. There were a few times I considered quitting, but it takes a lot to get me to stop reading a book. The overall message of achieving life balance between the online and the IRL is great, but the execution is lacking.

A fun, laugh out loud read that doesn't lose it's spark. Funny from beginning to end and a genuine joy to read.

I loved Dry Hard! I liked this one also, but not as much. 

The writing style was spot on. The comedy was there - over the top, cringeworthy and laugh out loud. It was just the main character that I found a bit lacking. I think I would have liked this a bit more if Andy had been 26, not 36. He just seemed to naive and immature to be almost 40. 

I did warm up to him more as the story progressed and he started to mature a bit. It was a great premise that had many humorous moments and a few touching ones as well. 

Thanks to NetGalley, the author and Amazon Publishing UK for a copy in exchange for a review.

This was a fun read and made me think about whether I could really ‘log off’. It’s not my usual kind of read but was enjoyable and made me laugh

I wanted to enjoy this book. It looked like it was going to be something different, and the premise was interesting. However, the tone was off for me. I didn't like the point of view character, and I found the writing irritating. This was not for me.

I absolutely loved this book. It had me laughing out loud from beginning to end and without giving too much away had me thinking I should do a "digital detox" myself. Brilliant, witty read!!
