Eu amei esse livro. Com a escrita da autora, a história - que poderia ser arrastada - se tornou algo diferente, algo surpreendente, que nem sei expressar o que senti ao ler. Em vários momentos me identifiquei com a personalidade dos personagens, como é a vida real acontecendo mesmo, não parecia ficção. Passei raiva, gritei de nervoso, implorei que houvesse conversa, ri de situações inusitadas e comemorei as conquistas, chorei de emoção. Foi tudo isso e mais um pouco. Sem dúvidas, um favorito.

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.

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.

I don’t really understand why this book is so loved. I mean, it wasn’t bad but it really wasn’t that good either? Somehow hollow dialogue and I didn’t really love the characters, they felt almost flat at times. The only likeable character

died near the end, and I thought ”Why should I even continue reading this?” And this is my own problem, but I dislike pregnancy tropes in books.
