Wow, wow, wow. This book reminded me of why I love reading (as someone who doesn't really read!!); I devoured the entire book in the span of 3 days and literally couldn't put it down. I've recommended it to every single person I talk to when they ask for book recs. Literally within the first five pages of consuming the writing style, I was hooked and fell in love. At its core, this book is about love and all of the different kinds of love there is.

The story itself is about two childhood friends who build a video game company together and follows them through the span of like 20+ years. I really really appreciated the representation of so many identities and social issues, from being a woman in STEM (specifically coding), biracial Asian identity, class disparities, disability rep, mental health issues, etc. The way that the author is able to weave together so many small elements in the story that seem at first nonchalant but bring them back later in the most heart-wrenching, gutting, and significant ways should be studied! The creativity demonstrated in the creation of the various video games in the world is astounding and I wish I was able to actually play them. I also appreciate how you don't need to be in gaming culture/know about video games to enjoy this book, but can still appreciate how much research and detail went into the writing about video games in the book.

Zevin really makes you feel with the characters and writes such complex and flawed and lovable characters that you can't help but root and sympathize for even when they act like stubborn, ego-centric idiots at times. I felt like I truly knew the characters as real people and

genuinely grieved over a character like I had also lost my best friend. I cried so much, audibly said "no no nO" and had to stop reading when that moment happened so I could process and grieve. (which ended up being like half a day b/c I just needed to keep reading as well)

. Highly highly recommend this book, there's a reason that it was one of the top selling books of 2023.

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.

This story and these characters will stay with me for a long time. But it doesn’t do this book justice to separate the two, because the story is the characters and the characters are the story. I loved and hated and loved Sadie and Sam so much, much like they loved and hated and loved each other.
