This was the most beautiful story of navigating relationships, loss, and life. Creatively told and flawlessly executed. I️ could read this again and again, and definitely will!

I didn’t know anything about this book going in, but I had high expectations. As a gamer, I loved that aspect. It’s full of nostalgia for old games and simpler times of my childhood. 

However, I feel like the book kind of wrapped up in the middle and from there until the end it felt really dragged out. I couldn’t sense where it was going and was left a little disappointed with where it did go. 

The concept is clever and there such strong character development in the first half, but it feels the second half was almost rushed to be finished.

absolutely phenomenal book. I was entranced the entire way through. This book plays with time/chronology in a way that really keeps you hooked, always wondering how the story will get to the future that you know it eventually gets to. The characters are remarkably well written and so complex. The story is beautiful. I couldn’t put it down before, but especially after, the chapter called “The NPC.” That chapter is one of the most beautifully written chunks of literature I’ve ever read. I’m gonna have to go back and read this again, for sure. I recommend this to everyone.

It’s a fun book in being about video-games and the creative process but I do think the author was trying to do too much and seemed to use the book to virtue signal her opinion on every possible issue.

The book has suicide, car-crash, chronic pain, amputation, DV, shooting, death, LGBT violence
