Wow, this was a really hard book for me to finish. As soon as I started reading I knew that I was going to struggle to get into the storyline as it was extremely slow and dull. I was determined to finish it just so I could be done with it and by the end I was skim reading the pages. 

Overall, the characters were beyond frustrating. I despised Sadie as she treats Sam horrendously. I do not see how it can be viewed as a form of love. I also didn’t understand what the point of the story was as a result of this. The characters displayed very little development even over such a long time span and the ending was anti climatic. I’m very glad I can move onto a new book.

Fell flat at times but very good. A bit predictable at times and seemed like a complex love triangle which I don’t usually go for but intellectually written with nostalgia for the “golden era of video games” but very interesting nonetheless

Whilst nearly all the gaming references were lost on me, the love between the characters wasn’t. 

This book covers important issues in a subtle but thought provoking way. It explores love within families, within romantic relationships but most beautifully within platonic relationships. 

It’s brilliantly written with so many connected ideas/plot lines and themes if you pay enough attention. It will make you laugh and cry in equal measure and is a must read, gamer or not.

can't rate it i feel like i need to go full english class analysis mode to fully understand this book and i simply do not have the time rn !!!!!!!! the writing was incredible though id love to read another book from this author. i think i wanted something different out of this book that it simply was not trying to be and that's a me issue but i did literally just finish it so maybe i'll have more thoughts in the future. i did really appreciate the love this book has for storytelling and stories and art and creation

More detailed trigger warning:

there's a pretty detailed active shooter scene, and a detailed suicide by jumping. They're not gratuitous, but rough to read
