Reviews for Social Media and Personal Relationships: Online Intimacies and Networked Friendship (Palgrave MacMillan Studies in Family and Intimate Life)
"There is much to recommend this book in the way it synthesises the research of leading digital scholars and the extent it draws on the theoretical frameworks of Bauman, Beck, Giddens, Goffman and many others to help us understand the effects of digital media on our personal and public lives."
