It’s a fun book in being about video-games and the creative process but I do think the author was trying to do too much and seemed to use the book to virtue signal her opinion on every possible issue.

The book has suicide, car-crash, chronic pain, amputation, DV, shooting, death, LGBT violence

This book is a love letter to gamers everywhere. The characters were complex and flawed, and it made them incredibly lovable and relatable. The story takes turns you don’t expect, but in the end, it is expected, isn’t it? The wild twists and turns of life we never expect but know are bound to surprise us? How people fall out of our lives and promptly back into them? How lovely. Highly recommend.

Enjoyed reading about them developing games, but otherwise was just ok. Not great dialogue or character development. Did not live up to the hype.

I don't know how to rate this book. At first, I wasn't in the right frame of mind to read it, but when I finally was, I couldn't put it down. It emotionally slayed me. It got under my skin. I'll probably think about it for a while. I can't tell you definitively if I liked it or not, but I don't regret it.

TW: There is a description of an active shooter scene. If you are someone who has been affected by gun violence, please know this is part of the book.
