One word PERFECT!!!
I am in no way a fan of videogames so when I saw that this book was voted as one of the best books of 2022 by goodreads I was curious.
All I can say is, believe the hype. I enjoyed reading this from start to finish.
This story spoke to the power of friendship. It taught us the real meaning of LOVE (all types). the fact that the author used the creation of the game "Ichigo' to connect the three main characters Sadie, Sam and Marx was genius.
I am not going to write a very long review for this one because I really do not want to spoil it for anyone. I highly recommend this.
