I am loving this series so much. I too am such a fan of cozy games. Those that play cozy games are also gamers! I love the Gamer Girls. It was awesome reading from Cece's point of view. I love the message of friendship and overcoming struggles in this book. I cannot wait to read more.

This wasn't a book for me, but I could see it appealing to readers who like the Invisible Emmy series. It heavily focuses on interpersonal relationships within friend groups in middle school--and I think that it very accurately portrays the stress of trying to navigate friendships when things change for middle schoolers (though as an adult, this was part of the story that I didn't enjoy reading because it felt repetitive and overblown, even though I know it is what it feels like in middle school! So a plus for the book, even though a negative for me). This will also fill a collection gap for video gaming stories with female main characters, which are few and far between.
