The way this book is written is stunning to say the least. I had a difficult time with some of the characters and their choices but I think that’s purposeful and real. This is a book I’ll be thinking about for a long time both for it’s artistry, character study, and it’s themes. Warning (not spoiler): this is a book that makes you self reflect a lot on your own relationships and choices.

None of the negative things are supported by the author or by her writing. They are performed by bad or complex characters who are doing bad or complicated things.

The characters are devastatingly real and flawed. They’re not always likeable and that’s precisely why I kept reading. They felt real and I needed to see how these very real people handled trauma, love, work and friendship throughout their lives. It is extremely relatable. 

Loved seeing the diverse representation- biracial, disable, asexual characters. It felt like real life.

There are some serious trigger warnings so just be aware! 

Overall, I don’t think I can read this again for along time but it will definitely haunt me forever. Great book. 

Loved the world of building video games- was very accessible for non-gamers.

I think this might be one of my least favorite books ever. I have loved so much of Zevin's work this one caught me so off guard. I don't understand the hype and how none gamers could slog through this. I am a gamer and I struggled. The book is pretentious. The characters are awful. There is no plot to speak of. No. No. No.

It really picks up around the midpoint and then I couldn’t put it down, vocabulary was a bit tough but you get used to it. High praise!
