4.0
A heart-wrenching coming of ager which prompts you to think about love and loss and what they look and feel like throughout your life. I tend to stay away from stories that use video games as a plot device or driver because they often feel ingenuine but Zevin’s sincere love for games comes through on every page, in turn making her characters’ own passion so innately believable and real. The pacing and power dwindled for me at points, but others (the coma sequence and Pioneers story in particular) felt pretty special in their storytelling to me.
Graphic: Suicide, Death, Gun violence, and Car accident
Moderate: Racism, Antisemitism, Homophobia, and Racial slurs
