What in the Wattpad did I just read!?
This book was SOMETHING alright. I'm not sure where to start; the amount of notes I made while reading, especially on all the inaccuracies, is astounding. My Kindle Notes and Highlights.
Let me first say, I LOVE the premise! (The ONLY reason I'm giving it 3 stars... well that and when Alex randomly put on a Shrek movie bc that reminded me of my bf and it was CUTE.) A romance novel with a gaming twist? Yes, please!! I even enjoyed how the video game mentioned in the book is loosely based on League of Legends, which I’ve been playing for over ten years. (Not as often anymore (prob 2-3 times within 2 weeks), but I play ADC/Sup & Mid with some jg experience back in season 6, though you will never catch me top that shit is aids esp with the changes in the last 2-3 years.) But while the concept had promise, the execution and writing? Not it.
I have mixed feelings about this and I'm not sure how to review it, or have all my thoughts laid out in a way that even makes sense. But maybe I'll review this in chronological order based on the events in the book, probably with quotes etc? Not sure yet.
Good Game, Gamer Girl has a lot of potential to be great, but it felt like a rough draft, with underdeveloped characters, and unanswered questions. And the lack of research into the actual game, esports, and streaming made it inaccurate; and at times, painfully cringe to read. While there are some cute-ish moments, some very cute quotes and I desperately tried to like the characters, some parts of this book were so aggravating that they overshadow the good.
