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

Such a wonderfully written book. This is a book for people who love video games but it’s written so accessibly I think even someone who doesn’t like video games would absolutely enjoy it. I wasn’t expecting this book to take me through so many emotions and I thoroughly enjoyed the journey. I’m a huge fan of the way the author time jumps - it gives us little nuggets of the future or the past without being confusing and always leads us cleanly back into the plot.

This book took me forever to get through. Most of the time I was bored or annoyed with the characters. There is a lot of violence and abuse that doesn’t seem to have a true purpose. The book felt like it was trying to be progressive given that it takes place in the early 1990s, but then had one of the main female characters in love and obsessed with a creepy, older, abusive, pos man. Not for me. 🤷🏽‍♀️
