Reviews for The Smart Girl's Guide To Privacy

"""If you have someone in your life who might be unaware of the various dangers lurking online (like a parent, child, or friend), gift them a copy of this book that covers online security and privacy basics. Blue does a commendable job of ensuring the reader stays informed, but far from overwhelmed."" —Britt Kemp, Bishop Fox Labs"
