LOVED this book so much. I kept looking at reviews just because I wanted more of it. And the more I learned, the more I loved it.
Loved how the ending mirrored aspects of the beginning yet kept recurrent themes fresh. BRILLIANT character-driven story!

My friend asked what the plot was and my only answer was “life?” But what a beautifully written, true, honest look at life. I wanted to slap the main characters and then give them a hug. They are so nuanced and real. I was annoyed with their choices then applauding their growth. It was fantastic.

Loved this book. Not only fun to read about the games of my childhood, but the creating of games and beautifully described human relationships made this a profound reading experience.
