I never expected to love a book about video games this much. The book is long and at times hard to get through but the characters really make up for it. Everyone is fully fleshed out and there are points where I love them and point when I hate them (except Marx he’s perfect). Even when I don’t like what a character is doing or what they’re feeling I still understand where they are coming from and why they would think that way. I loved looking at the artistic process through the lens of video games

Very John green-esque, reminded me also of ready player one (in the general vibe, not just the gaming aspect) very sad and tugs on your heart strings but didn’t do enough to make me cry, but the characters were very well rounded and I enjoyed it a lot.

I thought this was a solid read! It was a beautiful story that had a simplistic perspective on game creation. I was worried it would get too into the weeds of game development, but it was easy to understand and the different depths of the characters and events really made you think about your life perspective. Overall a beautiful story with a beautiful narrative.
