I don't even think I can comment on it without reading it again. I have a bad habit of reading too quickly in the second half of books, because I want to know what happens. This book's second half, and really all of it, deserves a reread.

Loved seeing the diverse representation- biracial, disable, asexual characters. It felt like real life.
There are some serious trigger warnings so just be aware!
Overall, I don’t think I can read this again for along time but it will definitely haunt me forever. Great book.
Loved the world of building video games- was very accessible for non-gamers.
