Very interesting read. I am not into video games and I read enjoyed reading it. Ar some point it gets a bit stuck in the narrative but manages to have a good ending
4.5, maybe even 4.25, but rounding up (at least for now) because it’s still the best book I’ve read so far this year. We’ll see if I bump it back down to a 4, eventually.
Loved the catch 22-ish style of writing where it feels like word association and the ending sentence of one section serves as a topic change or character focus for the next section. I devoured this in 2 days, and ugly cried while reading for longer than I’d like to admit.
If the first ~80% of the novel ran, the last 20% dragged / crawled / limped / twitched. Not sure if it was a pacing issue or what, but dialogue became stilted, social commentary became heavy handed, and it felt like something beautiful ended in a whimper. Had it not been for the ugly crying, the last handful of pages were egregious enough for me to question if the previous hundreds of pages were “even that good”

Loved it! Nostalgia ahoy. It just felt like friendship. Can't really put it into words but I loved it and was genuinely sad when I finished it

Am I an asshole for saying this book was boring? I feel like a HUGE asshole… I’m so sorry HAHA
Sam and Sadie— I just kinda hated them. They were really annoying and I don’t know if they were written like that on purpose oooorrrr what 🙃
Some parts I did enjoy, but overall I was just bored.
