This was a great book. The plot was engaging and handled the topic of cyberbullying well. The characters were lovable and also diverse (Divya is Indian and Aaron is Honduran/Palestinian). I really felt how Eric Smith put bits of himself into his characters. The slang was okay for me, even if it’s slightly cringey by now, but I think the gaming references would be difficult to get into if you’re not a gamer. Overall, this was a fun read.

Relatively fun, but wildly unrealistic. Misogynistic trolls don't show up in person in pathetic t-shirts to identify themselves as harassers, and police certainly don't give a single shit about gender based online harassment, and would never stage a sting operation at a convention. Reads kind of like a 45 year old's idea of how twitch streaming and conventions work. If Div was big enough to be on one of the main banners on the convention website, they would have staff to meet her and not expect her to run the gauntlet of public entry lines. I liked her banter with Aaron, and his cute romantic gesture at the end. And that Jason got his comeuppance.
