I am in awe of this one. She did something so ambitious and it really paid off. The pacing is perfect and she gives the PERFECT amount of exposition at all times.

Spoiler

I am a huge fan of the chapters written from a video game perspective

Loved the story to start. Friendship, tech, women in tech, video games, unrequited love. 

But overall the main characters didn’t pull me in.. I found Sadie to be miserable and kinda an asshole and Sam was very self loathing. The slow burn that led to nothing was also a let down. And probably a fault of mine not looking more into what this story was about, but I don’t think I’ve ever read something with so many harsh content warnings on it.

OUCH. 

Spoiler

My only complaint was how little we got from Sadie during the last quarter of the book. But now that I write this maybe that was fully intentional. We would get Sam’s side of the story often when he was really going through it, so I was waiting for Sadie’s side to come and it never did. I could be wrong though and maybe her side wasn’t necessary.

There is mention of an animal injury (possibly unintentionally caused by a person). The animal survives, recovers, and thrives. Can easily skip over the paragraph that discusses the injury to get to the happier times.
