I really really really liked this book. I learned so much about video game creation and production, and was impressed by the creativity of the different games made throughout the book. The different Anna Lee's mentioned in various chapters was a thought-provoking parallel to the different lives or simulations one could live in a video game, all by making a different choice than previous. I enjoyed the friendship trio's dynamic and balance they brought to each other, and I found the passion and love they had for video games to be a interesting central point for them to always come back to. I did not like or vibe with Sam's character much, I felt he was pessimistic and woe-is-me attitude when he could've done something but didn't, however I loved Sadie and Marx, Zoe, and Sam's grandparents. I also laughed a lot and liked the time jumping around for once.

4.5

This was a propulsive read. The story is set in the world of game developers - I do not play games, so this was completely foreign to me. The two  main characters, Sam & Sadie grow and change in believable ways across the 20+ years of the book. The portrayal of grief and the way it tears life apart was one of the better characterizations I’ve read.
