As a literary work - it’s great, and I’ll be thinking of this one for a while after. But it’s also not a book I can recommend to just anyone because it is a little difficult in places. That’s fine but I just like people to be aware.

I thought this book was okay! A good story with good writing and pacing, but definitely overhyped. It didn’t really stand out to me as a ~great~ read. The story itself is about video games and gamers, which I’m not interested in either, but the themes of friendship and coming of age is what kept me reading.

Basically, read the blurb and if it seems interesting to you then read it! And if it doesn’t then skip it! Haha if you can’t tell I’m pretty indifferent about this book.

⚠️ Explicit language (especially at the beginning - it gets somewhat better… kind of…)

There are always books that you realize you like more or less with time, as you sit with them. I experienced that while I was in the midst of this one. Between putting it down and picking it back up again, I almost wouldn’t want to read it. Then I would, and I’d be completely caught in its undertow and not want to come up for air. I don’t want my appreciation for this book to be forgotten with time and distance. I don’t know why this would happen, but if you ever catch me trying to lower the rating, don’t trust it! Don’t trust me!

There's a fair bit that takes place in hospitals, but no procedures are explicitly described. Under that umbrella there is also

amputation and phantom pain
