I don’t think you need to enjoy video games to love this book. The characters were so beautifully written and the development of them was amazing.

I was utterly heartbroken about Marx dying and didn’t expect it happening until the moment the shooter scene was written. The way the characters grief was written too also had me crying.Graphic: Medical content, Grief, Injury/Injury detail, and Medical trauma

Definitely check out the content warnings before reading this one because some of them came out of left field. I'm usually a horror/thriller reader, but there were a few scenes that were so jarringly dropped into this story that I got uncomfortable.

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.Graphic: Suicide, Hate crime, Medical trauma, Infidelity, Medical content, Racism, Blood, Death, Mass/school shootings, Murder, Physical abuse, Pregnancy, Sexual violence, Death of parent, Grief, Gun violence, Car accident, and Homophobia

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.btyniceh's review against another edition
