I am not a gamer. I have terrible hand-eye coordination and have always been reluctant to do things I wasn't automatically good at. So, as much as I've always loved games and as fascinated as I am by animation, I never really entered the world of video games. And yet, about 4 chapters into this book, I made myself a Steam account and started playing my first game ever. For that alone, I think this book deserves its credit and praise.
One of the things I loved the most about this is that, as individual characters, I hated Sam and Sadie. They irked me on so many occasions, and if they were real people whom I knew in real life, I would do everything in my power to keep them far away from each other, to avoid the headache that is their dynamic. And yet... I cried so much. I wanted their love to flourish. I loved exploring their relationship together, in all of its many, complex facets. I could not put this book down, and I think I truly fell in love with them.
Zevin really has an amazing talent, and her writing skills are phenomenal. I tabbed pretty much every page of this book, there were just so many beautiful passages. The novel as a whole just made me feel so much, there really is no other way to put it. I became enthralled by the story and its characters, and even though I had complicated feelings towards them, I think that just added to the experience. It was real and it was heavy and it was hopeful and I had a wonderful time.
I think it's so worth all the hype, you will not be disappointed.
