I am not into video games, but I really liked getting to know the gaming world. I didn’t know that designers could either make their own engine or use another games design. Also the friendships were dynamic and complex which I appreciated. I think that’s my favorite part of books is getting to know other peoples relationships in the story. 

Is it anti-feminist to not like Sadie? I felt like she always painted herself to be the victim in her relationship with Sam. It didn’t seem like Sam was ever trying to sabotage Sadie. He just wanted to make games with her. Sam could be cruel like when he told Marx that he’s an NPC. But I feel like Sadie accused Sam of things that weren’t true? I don’t know maybe the accusation of Sam putting her in a touch spot with Dov was true. But not necessarily all his fault either. Sadie never understood the pain that Sam went through with his foot. Maybe she was over it? Idk. With all this being said, it was easier to relate to Sadie than Sam. Sam’s story was harder to relate to because his experiences were different than mine.

The grief written into the book has been done so incredibly well. The amount of times I cried and at one point had to put the book down to sob for several minutes - it's beautiful. As someone who's maternal grandparents practically raised her, Sam's final talk with his grandfather reminded me of the final talks with my grandparents- the last 'I love yous' are the easiest and hardest to utter. Sam and Sadie's friendship is like most friendships between two people who have traumas in their lives - it's difficult and complicated but theee is so much love there between them. I stand by the decision to not have them end up together romantically! Sometimes staying friends with someone trumps being intimately together. Overall, I get the hype of this book. It's a hauntingly beautiful story about love, loss, trauma but friendships. l love it
