I didn't particularly like or dislike the book, it was a nice read, I just wasn't really connected to the characters and parts of the story. I quite liked the first half of the book, rather enjoyable. I liked learning about the characters, the game design world and other things related to the coding and what not. I was really entertained during then. Unfortunately, I did not feel the same for the later part of the book. There were random kissing with friends, lots of random sexual content, etc. Also Dov is really disgusting but I can also see why Sadie still wants to be his friend although he is a predator going for young girls... I really liked the friendship between Sam and Sadie and the process in which they designed the games and created the games. I think it was not something we often see in books where the main characters are usually lovers. Pretty nice perspective. Additionally, I really loved Marx! He's such a kind and genuine person and he has helped Sam a lot with his injury and caring for him. I LOVE the grandparents! They're so sweet and nice, they sound like lovely people :) I felt the ending was a very nice closure to the entire book, although nearing the end iykyk was SO sad :C To think that such things actually happen in real life and is as abrupt as it was in the book...
