This book was really beautifully written, but it is a HEAVY read. The way these characters are written is so brutally honest and genuine, I often had take breaks to separate my own emotions from that of the characters...which honestly wasn't a bad thing. This book hit really close to home, but it was also very reflective. I think it tackled the issues of racism, ableism, and toxic relationships really elegantly. That, and the backdrop of video game development was such a lovely and creative setting for these coming-of-age stories.
A beautifully written, heavy, saddening, yet inspiring story. A book about love, but not romantic love, indeed!
