Happy book birthday to Influence by Sara Shepard & Lilia Buckingham! Ah, the dangers of social media fame. The dangers of fame in general. So many secrets! I’m both intrigued and uninterested in Shepard and Buckingham’s Influence. On the one hand, this book looks like a lot of fun. On the other, it seems thriller-esque and is not really my style. But, I will say this–I feel like this book is going to have a brilliant commentary.
