This was an interesting read. The title and cool graphic design intrigued me. I went into it honestly not even really reading more than the first couple lines of the description. I have never read a book with this sort of plot line - gamers, growing pains, and even painful experiences of racism and discrimination all in one. The writing style was different- I read it digitally and simultaneously listened along with my spotify membership. It was easy to get immersed into this universe. I liked how there was a mix of present, past, and future AND first and third person- I’m telling y’all very different and yet it worked well for the most part. There were a few times I had to reread to make sure I understood who the narrator was embodying. I finished maybe an hour ago and am still digesting. I share the frustration with Sam and Sadie. On one side would’ve loved if they at least had an intimate experience but on the other side I wanted them to be both single and leave other characters alone with their bad communication skills and annoying behaviors. I am disheartened with how things went with Marx’s character. I liked the representation of disabilities, chronic pain, asian characters. However I wish this book included trigger warnings. I feel a bit overwhelmed and overexposed to the asian discrimination and gun violence the characters experienced. Too vulnerable for us bipoc. I am one who loves happy endings and this was as a whole bittersweet. I adored the link to the meeting up in the station and the ending - so sweet! I think that’s all for now. Give it a try.

as much as sadie claimed sam was a bad person, who sleeps with someone in a relationship (dov and then again marx) and one of those people is your best friend’s friend? like girl. I absolutely agree with sam that them being in a relationship which so shady they “hid” it like marx you really tainted yourself, but alas, it did skew sadie being favored. which arguably was intentional seeing how she got her way with dov and got his code and mentorship.

This was the most beautiful story of navigating relationships, loss, and life. Creatively told and flawlessly executed. I️ could read this again and again, and definitely will!

I was sad when I finished this book, because I never wanted it to end. Eventhough the character’s choices could make me feel somewhat uncomfortable, this was such a comfort read. What an amazing book.
