Spoilers in Review:
I really enjoyed this book! I understand the hype, Zevin writes wonderfully, she particularly wrote ages very well. Zevin flipped between the past, present, and video games seamlessly. I did get frustrated that the characters just didn't communicate better! I don't think Sadie was written as great as the other characters; her motives weren't explored enough. Sam and Sadie are both flawed characters, but Sam's motives were better explored. Sadie's hatred for Sam didn't make sense especially since but could have if it was better explored. I did love how Marx's coma was written from 2nd person; it was so impactful/devastating. I am glad Sam and Sadie ended as collaborators with mutual respect without being romantic. Overall, fantastic book.
