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 isn’t a sadness, but a joy, that we don’t do the same things for the length of our lives.”

This book was ALMOST too clever for its own good. Almost. But somehow, Zevin pulled it off perfectly. Smart, funny, reflective, tragic, and redemptive all in one. I get the hype. 

It makes complete sense to me that the author’s recommended further reading includes Cloud Cuckoo Land, Stories of Your Live and Others, and The Starless Sea.

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.
