This was incredibly painful to read. The main character was so frustrating and naive. The whole theme is “nothing is real” and she prided herself in believing she was the perfect person for the game because of her upbringing, yet her personality and emotions kept getting in her way. Things kept falling into her lap.. she did absolutely nothing to deserve the things she was given. 

“Are you sure it wasn’t an illusion” “I’m POSITIVE” was repeated over and over again 🤦🏻‍♀️
