I don't know if the book didn't live up to my expectations or if I was just not in the right headspace to appreciate it. I expected a 5-star read, but it was just fine.

It's very well written. However, nothing about it surprised me or really stuck out to me. The emotional parts didn't land as I think they were meant to.

I hesitate to recommend it, but I also hesitate to write it off.

Dov is the worst. I am angry that there were no consequences for him from anyone.

4.5

I really really really liked this book. I learned so much about video game creation and production, and was impressed by the creativity of the different games made throughout the book. The different Anna Lee's mentioned in various chapters was a thought-provoking parallel to the different lives or simulations one could live in a video game, all by making a different choice than previous. I enjoyed the friendship trio's dynamic and balance they brought to each other, and I found the passion and love they had for video games to be a interesting central point for them to always come back to. I did not like or vibe with Sam's character much, I felt he was pessimistic and woe-is-me attitude when he could've done something but didn't, however I loved Sadie and Marx, Zoe, and Sam's grandparents. I also laughed a lot and liked the time jumping around for once.
