I really loved the writing of this book and the way that interviews and articles were used a the beginning to see peaks of the end. Sometimes I would get too lost in the words used, but the story had me gripped from the beginning. I love Marx.

I wish he didn't have to die.

This book was sad. Beautiful. But sad. I found myself rooting for characters one minute and then mad at them the next. A real roller coaster of emotions. It’s a very interesting story with unique characters I haven’t really read before. I enjoyed the time jump aspect of it a lot. I had really high hopes for this book, even though I knew it wasn’t my go to genre or subject matter. And I wouldn’t say I was let down but I am more emotionally scarred than I was expecting.

5.0

This book blew my mind and gave me such a comforting feeling that I haven't experienced in so long.
Those descriptions of everyday activities and hobbies made me feel right at home.

The characters were absolutely amazing, and the way they spilled their thoughts, emotions, histories, and fears made them feel like real human beings.

The different types of love explored in the book were simply beautiful. They all tangled together, evolving and surviving through the challenges of life.

I loved the inside jokes and the bursts of inspiration while they created video games. It even sparked my curiosity about video games as a new form of art.

I also absolutely loved how the story was told. It flowed so naturally, and I could easily kept up with the timeline shifts.

Amazing book, definitely never read a love story like this one before.

gardens_and_dragons's review against another edition

I don’t think this was a book for me. The characters were very flawed but in ways that made me want to shake them versus identify with them. They had a cycle of misunderstanding and miscommunication that would seemingly get better and then worse. 

They each had their own issues that made them who they were, but they never seemed to put the effort in to understand each other, arguably as each others best friends they did a terrible job of actually being there for each other. 

I had hoped for more comfort in this book but I think that it kept being a cycle of more trauma, misunderstanding, and then grief.

I think that while a lot of the topics and content warnings are important to talk about, it felt more like a laundry list of the characters “going thru it” versus feeling realistic.
