The problem is the whole thing was so damned SLOW! I know it is the story of the character's lives but damn. I think it was also hard because I listened to it as an audiobook - there were flashbacks and time skips that were hard to grasp. And maybe there's something there about it being a book about making games AND relationships...it was far more about the relationships and the games were a veneer and I get that is needed to make the relationship narrative work, but I was disappointed.

I listened to the audio version, but I wish I had obtained a physical copy because there were parts I would want to reread and terms I didn't know. I still enjoyed it thoroughly. I will be thinking about it a long time.

really loved it. refereshing to see media about video games presented as positive, beautiful, and artistic rather than brainrotting. interactions between characters are complicated but often lovely to read through. really presents the idea that love is a very complicated, not always romantic, emotion, and despite negativity and darkness love does feel very overwhelmingly present in the lives of these people and the vibe of the book as a whole.

i also really appreciate that sam and sadie never got together romantically, because i think it makes far more sense for them. what sadie said near the end of the book about why they never got together really made sense to me. i did however think her relationship with marx felt a bit forced and set up so that he could die as a vessel for drama and character development? she seemed entirely disinterest ed in him when she first knew him and he liked her, yes she was in a weird situationship with dov at the time but i think even despite that it felt a little odd. tbh that's my only critique though

i am kind of speechless
sam and sadie are basically the dream team, and marx is such a good facilitator. the author's choice of time era was perfect, and she obviously wrote from somewhat of a personal experience

p11:

And yet, he knew himself and he knew he was the type of person that never called anyone, unless he was absolutely certain the advance would be welcomed. 

ha! me

p39: i bet

dov is her bf

p40: WHAT
p41: ha, she's right, she totally is like the solution player
p43: girlie this doesn't seem healthy, go get real friends
p66: huh? the MCs are born in '74? they're old
p82: they're not speaking again? seriously
p209: that is a twist! to be fair if this is the reason they stop speaking I can understand that
p265: purely based on the fact that one of the sections is called marriages,

i predict that marx and zoe will be one of them

p267: you what
p283: don't tell me

marx and sadie are the ones that get married

p331:

bet she's pregnant

p335:

are we sure marx is ok? like ARE WE DAMN SURE

p338: before I read any further let's have another prediction based this section title...if it's called the npc because

MARX DIES OR SMTH AND SADIE SPENDS HER WHOLE LIFE ON MAPLEWORLD INTERACTING WITH AN NPC THEY BASE ON MARX

I AM GOING TO SOB HYSTERICALLY
p340: I'M SCARED
p344: no! i'm gonna cry for poor charlotte and adam cause i bet they won't get to make their game now and they really needed this ☹️
p351: sam! that is an unnecessary insult bro
p356: NOT ANT
P360: OH THANK THE LORD
p361: OH HE FREAKING BETTER NOT!!

DON'T YOU DARE LEAVE THAT CHILD WITHOUT A FATHER!!

p363:

JUST HOLD ON MARX, COME ON!!!

p365: AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH 😭😭😭😭😭
@esthersanderson! GIRL! DID YOU BUY ME THIS BOOK JUST TO PUT ME THROUGH ALL THIS EMOTIONAL TRAUMA???
p368: how am i supposed to move on in this book knowing that

marx is dead??

p404: oh my goshhhh, it's the "tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow" speech
p446: ok this a slightly immature reason not to speak, but she's grieving so we'll forgive her
