This book is phenomenal. I don't think I have ever read anything like it. Of you're a fan of video games, deep life long friendships, and authentic flawed human characterization, this is the book you need to read. Zevin wrote such a engaging story that includes the full spectrum of human experience. The happy parts were beautiful and the sad parts made me cry. The pacing was slow but I couldn't put it down for very long. A favorite book for sure.
