I adored this book. Zevin somehow managed to evoke that addictive and moorish feeling you get when playing a really good game in her writing. I am by no means a gamer, but I found myself wanting to know more about gaming culture whilst also getting bursts of nostalgia for the games referenced. I found myself backing the two main characters, which at times was conflicting, but it was a perfectly subversive coming of age tale.
