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.

I can’t tell if I liked this book or not. It’s very well-written and the characters are compelling to read, even if I didn’t actually like 2 of the 3 main characters. 

As I continued reading, I I started to not really like Sam or Sadie. I found myself rooting for each of them and then being disappointed in each of them, because I hoped/expected more from them as they grew as people. Marx was my favorite and I was absolutely devastated by the NPC chapter. However, even though I was frustrated by Sam and Sadie, I was compelled by how they were written.
