Capsule by Mel Torrefranca
4.0
I have received this ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
Capsule definitely gave me some Ready Player One vibes. In it, you will meet Jackie, Peter, and Kat. One day at school, Jackie and the rest of her classmates found out that Peter and Kat are now missing. Then she randomly found an app, named Capsule, on her phone. She didn't remember downloading it so she went to delete it. Later on that day, it's back and she doesn't know why. Whenever she shows her phone to people they don't even see it.
The app is constantly on her mind. Especially after the first message she receives which involves playing a game to save Peter and Kat. At this point, I'm very intrigued because now I'm getting Jumanji vibes now. Entering into a game to save people or the world. It didn't matter to me really because I was just really excited to dive into this adventure.
What I got was a lot of emotions throughout this book. Each level had it's own version of sadness.. which is kind of weird to say. It dives into Peter's and Kat's lives and each little puzzle piece shows how they are all somewhat connected. Oh man, so many emotions and feelings while reading this.
In the end, I'm still not over this. Especially before the last chapter came my way because damn - it was so good! I'm so glad that I got to meet these three and watch them grow. Plus seeing how things in their life changed how they are today and how their classmates see them. It was very eye opening and all I can say is that I dream that these three are happier in their lives.
