The first two chapters were a bit rough, and I didn’t love the style of the language, but I kept reading because I was intrigued. And then I read the third chapter and was hooked. By the end, I was in love. 

I didn’t find Sadie and Sam particularly likable, but I completely understood their motivations and their choices were believable. 

This was a really ambitious book, and I think Zevin executed it really well. You can tell she put in a lot of time researching to make it realistic. It’s clearly a love letter to gaming, and I really appreciated the style of the different sections. I think it added a lot to the narrative. This is definitely a book that I will enjoy even more on a future read, though having a physical copy would make it easier to flip back to remind myself of different sections.

Not a true adult/minor relationship, but the power dynamic was definitely like one. The ableism is more internalized.

I struggled a lot with this one. I bounced off the first chapter, told myself I didn't wait 4 months on a library hold to immediately DNF it, and made myself read the whole thing. To be perfectly honest, what kept me going was that this is the closest to a queerplatonic relationship I have seen in fiction, and I am a starved aro ace who is willing to eat any crumbs I can find. It wasn't until around the 70% mark that I was hooked. I strongly disliked our two main characters though.

I really wish we had some different content warnings - this book contains homophobic slurs, BDSM as a tool of abuse, and a student/professor relationship where both parties are adults.

Unfassbar schönes Buch! Ich war von der ersten Seite an komplett von der Storyline gefesselt und das hat sich bis zum Ende nicht geändert.
Die Charaktere hatten ein natürliches Development über mehrere Jahre, sodass man die Veränderung nicht zu stark bemerkt. Fand ich sehr cool!
Schaut euch nur unbedingt die Triggerwarungen an ;)

Although there's a lot of content warning for this book, I believe it all to be to the benefit of the book to so capably handle difficult topics without coming across as indulgent or excessive.
