Convinced that modern conveniences are responsible for her romantic misery, Mallory decides to go on a technology fast. A to-do list her grandmother made at age sixteen, in 1962, provides the perfect inspiration for a simpler life, with such items as "Run for pep squad secretary." Mallory's experiences will undoubtedly make readers think about their own tethers to smartphones and social media.
