Overall good and interesting story, spanning a handful of characters along their college/young adult lives. Pacing overall was good, spots towards the middle/end began to loose interest- mixed feelings about major details towards the end, but overall good story. Well articulated characters that you’ll love most of the time, but hate sometimes (except Marx and Sam’s grandparents, they’re always good)

The hype on this book is almost overhyping it for me. But it is excellent and I see why everyone loves it. To me it feels like A Little Life meets Ready Player One. I couldn’t put it down and fell in love with all the characters. Which makes the terrible things that happen to them heart wrenching. The author is definitely my age and I loved all the references to our childhood like the Oregon trail! It’s a must read for sure.
