While the premise is intriguing and the writing has moments of brilliance, the pacing can be uneven at times. The exploration of the gaming industry and themes of creativity are insightful, but some sections may feel slow for readers not deeply interested in video game development.

The book deals with the complex, long-term relationship between Sam and Sadie as they navigate their personal and professional lives in the video game industry. It touches on themes of loss, disability, and the challenges of maintaining relationships while pursuing creative ambitions.

3.0

It had a good pace and nice focus on a special, deep friendship. It is not the most realistic story out there, but it does not have to be. Felt influenced by Normal People (Sally Rooney) and A little life (Hanya Yanagihara), but still keeping love and overcoming challenges at the heart of the story, rather than digging a deep hole of misery. Easy to read, not earthshatteringly unique or fascinating in terms of story and language, but still captivating.

Spice Rating: 🌶️ / 5

This was such a unique book. I loved the way the story was told not only through multiple POVs but also through video games. As the characters grew up and adapted, so did the storytelling.

Sam/Mazer is such an intriguing character who you can’t quite wrap your head around. He has been invisible his whole life and isn’t quite sure how to love and be loved. His character grows quite a bit but still has his flaws to the very end.

All in all, this was a delight to read.

I adored this book. I love the relationships and how complex and human everyone is. When a character is in the wrong,

unless it's Dov, hated that guy,

I can still love them in a way that proves the author truly understood people and made the charcters have such a depth that I don't usually see. Even the character I hated the most became one who I could appreciate at some points.
