An interesting weaving of gaming tech, friendship, romance and life. Personally found the book dreary because many situations could have been avoided if they characters simply communicated their feelings and thoughts. However I recognise that this reflects what we experience often in life, and the hesitation, passiveness and self-doubt that the characters exhibit are probably a reflection of people in our lives.
🎯 The dynamics of the different relationships in the book explored what intimacy can be: beyond just physical intimacy, the book showed how shared understanding and passion (for work, interests, hobbies) can be powerful and important connections to have in life.
🎯 The precision of language and words made the reading more meaningful.
🎯 A bonus if you’re a gamer and can appreciate the technical jargons
🤔 It felt too long when yet another layer of the issue was due to lack of open communication, the reusing of the same “problem” to develop the story felt repetitive and boring; though bearable.
