This book truly had it all. It was so beautifully written - I was amazed by Zevin’s ability to make me absolutely transfixed by a topic I normally don’t care much about (video games). At times I wanted to speed through to see how things ended, but I’m glad I took my time with it (though it wasn’t exactly intentional). Digesting the story over a longer period of time made all the references and call backs throughout so much more meaningful and heart wrenching. I was so enveloped in these characters stories, and cared deeply for all of them - I didn’t know who I related to more! There were a couple chapters that felt like really strong tone shifts and a bit awkward at first but in retrospect, I think they were by design and, in the end, it worked for me. The way Zevin weaves together such a layered and detailed story of love, friendship, and fame is remarkable and extremely moving. This will probably end up my being my top read of 2024. I don’t normally reread books but I already want to read this one again! I could gush about it for a long time but I’ll stop there :)

It had a good pace and nice focus on a special, deep friendship. It is not the most realistic story out there, but it does not have to be. Felt influenced by Normal People (Sally Rooney) and A little life (Hanya Yanagihara), but still keeping love and overcoming challenges at the heart of the story, rather than digging a deep hole of misery. Easy to read, not earthshatteringly unique or fascinating in terms of story and language, but still captivating.
