The Disconnect by Keren David

In this book we meet Ester and we see how her and her best friend Natalie as well as their crushes Tom and River as well as the rest of their school all partake in a challenge to ditch their phones and earn themselves a thousand pounds!

Only the woman behind the idea may be using the project to make teens rely even more on technology rather than doing less like they try.

After finding new hobbies and use of her time as well as being the victim of a mugging due to a phone argument it makes her feel more free than feeling paranoid people don't like her approve her clothes etc...

This book is relevant to now in a time when it seems people always have to be on their phone apps doing something this book highlights just how damaging they can be but also how nothing is as it seems a lot of the time too.
