Yes there were plenty of toxic elements to the many relationships in this but navigating those is also a part of life. They were authentically human and both Sam and Sadie made mistakes. I don’t like that she still meets up with dov in the end but just goes to show the long lasting effects that (TW) grooming and manipulation can have on a person. This overall was a realistic, messy, heart wrenching, heart warming story about human connection and love. What else is there?
The NPC has my heart.
This review was written and book was read prior to learning about xenophobic author.

This is not just a book about videogames and game designers, this book dives into the challenges that college students face when they are taking the steps into the real world. The challenges that come when the world is constantly changing. Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow touches on hard topics such as grief, gun violence, gay rights in ways that make you feel like we are failing the world for the future generations.

The author is able to bring us into the characters' relationships, into their creative and work processes.
And all with love and intricate nuances.
