Perception Check by Astrid Knight

First off, I want to say how much I liked that this book incorporated things I want to see in more books: trans and non-binary characters, multiple sexual identities, addressing mental health, etc. I really loved that.
But other than that, this was just ok. I liked that the fantasy RPG in the game ended up being based on a real place, the magic system was cool, but I found myself getting very irritated by Violet and Adrian in the last third of the book. Maybe because I didn't like how Eddie was being treated, but I can't really put my finger on all of it. Both of them rubbed me the wrong way as the story went on.
