i loved it and cried so many times! multiple pov’s spanning decades is always a hit for me

the ending just didn’t do it for me for some reason and somewhere along the line i also got reeeally annoyed at both sam and sadie. for these reasons i had to drop the rating with one star, even though i was thinking of five stars in the beginning of the book

I get the criticism that its only enjoyable if ur a gamer or make games, but that feels like a stupid approach lol like yeah i didnt get every  minor reference to game design but i enjoyed the book and i enjoyed the description of the games (even though i literally never game) and i enjoyed the characters and also i cried so

5.0

This book made me feel SO MANY FEELINGS. Some happy, some sad, some furious, some distraught. But that’s what makes a good book. The writing was incredible, thoughtful and thought provoking. Just amazingly creative and clever. 
Yes there were plenty of toxic elements to the many relationships in this but navigating those is also a part of life. They were authentically human and both Sam and Sadie made mistakes. I don’t like that she still meets up with dov in the end but just goes to show the long lasting effects that (TW) grooming and manipulation can have on a person. This overall was a realistic, messy, heart wrenching, heart warming story about human connection and love. What else is there? 
The NPC has my heart. 

This review was written and book was read prior to learning about xenophobic author.
