daury_ramirez's review against another edition

Ignoring the inappropriate student-teacher relationship and the main character being a pick-me girl, I did not like the book because I don't  like the author (crucify me). Thanks to the gods, I used my library card because I don't want to support a zionist financially.

This book made me feel SO MANY FEELINGS. Some happy, some sad, some furious, some distraught. But that’s what makes a good book. The writing was incredible, thoughtful and thought provoking. Just amazingly creative and clever. 
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.

"Every person you knew, every person you loved even, did not have to consume you for the time to have been worthwhile." -Sadie

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.
