This book perfectly fit into the category of books that are sort of slice of life books that I LOVE!
"Remarkably Bright Creatures" by Shelby Van Pelt, "Convenience Store Woman" by Sayaka Murata, "Circe" by Madeline Miller, "The Scent Keeper's Daughter" by Erica Bauermeister
All these books I would understand why someone else would find them boring. But the writing & compelling nature of humans make them favorites of mine
Graphic: Gun violence, Hate crime, Homophobia, Medical content, Grief, Medical trauma, and Murder
Moderate: Mental illness, Sexual content, Toxic relationship, Car accident, Death of parent, and Toxic friendship
I think that all these subjects are important to the story. I don't think anything was described excessively.michaelion's review against another edition

This is the story of Sam and Sadie, who meet in hospital as kids and start playing games together. Eventually they decide to start making games together.
This is the story about the games they make, but more importantly their lives together and apart.
The characters that Zevin has created feel so realistic and like they are actual people and the games she has made are incredible - I would absolutely love to play one of them for myself (and will just have to do with playing Stardew Valley for now)
This book is hyped up a lot, but I would recommend picking this one up, even if you think it might be overhyped. I am so glad I finally read this.
