Slay by Brittney Morris
5.0
I'm one of those goobers who loves Ready Player One, so I really wanted to see whether I'd like this book, too. The answer is a resounding yes! In fact, I think I like it even better than Ready Player One (*cough* because of the lack of female objectification and white male mediocrity *cough*).
When I first started reading SLAY, I was a little skeptical about how a teenage girl could create a whole virtual reality video game by herself -- but luckily it turns out that she recruited some internet friends to help, so my disbelief got suspended pretty fast. From there on in, this book became a gripping, fast-paced read that also deals with important themes about race and community spaces.
I can't say much more because of spoilers, but suffice to say, you need this book yesterday! It's super well-written, super thoughtful, and super AWESOME. Brittney Morris is coming out with another book next year, and you can bet I'll be snapping that one up ASAP.
