This book is a love letter to gamers everywhere. The characters were complex and flawed, and it made them incredibly lovable and relatable. The story takes turns you don’t expect, but in the end, it is expected, isn’t it? The wild twists and turns of life we never expect but know are bound to surprise us? How people fall out of our lives and promptly back into them? How lovely. Highly recommend.

it took me three? four? months to finish this book and it only added to my existential dread. about a quarter into reading this, i already knew i'd be unhappy about the ending – and i was, but in a good way? i really don't know what to think of this book. i definitely recommend reading it, it is definitely an experience.

I laughed, I cried, I had to stare out the plane window to regain hearts. Haunted and haunting book.

Enjoyed reading about them developing games, but otherwise was just ok. Not great dialogue or character development. Did not live up to the hype.

I don't know how to rate this book. At first, I wasn't in the right frame of mind to read it, but when I finally was, I couldn't put it down. It emotionally slayed me. It got under my skin. I'll probably think about it for a while. I can't tell you definitively if I liked it or not, but I don't regret it.

TW: There is a description of an active shooter scene. If you are someone who has been affected by gun violence, please know this is part of the book.
