This is the story of Sam and Sadie, who meet in hospital as kids and start playing games together. Eventually they decide to start making games together.
This is the story about the games they make, but more importantly their lives together and apart.
The characters that Zevin has created feel so realistic and like they are actual people and the games she has made are incredible - I would absolutely love to play one of them for myself (and will just have to do with playing Stardew Valley for now)
This book is hyped up a lot, but I would recommend picking this one up, even if you think it might be overhyped. I am so glad I finally read this.
