I jumped in and was really excited about this book through about the first 3rd. Then it slowed a bit for me and I thought I was going to ultimately be disappointed. In the end though, I loved this story, these flawed characters, and realized again the power of vulnerability to make us see and be seen. Wonderful, wonderful experience!

This life is filled with inescapable moral compromises. We should do what we can to avoid the easy ones.

If you aren't fighting, then someone doesn't care enough about the work.

She liked solitude and the thoughts of her own interesting and creative mind. She liked to be comfortable. She liked hotel rooms, thick towels...

She was intelligent, but her intelligence didn't get in the way of her enthusiasm.

I've decided we're going to be great friends, by the way. Don't bother to resist me. I'll stalk ...more

This book gave me a much deeper understanding and appreciation of video games and the ways ...more

I decided to read this book based on the cover and I did not read the description. It was an unexpected and unique story for me and I doubt I will forget it. It always left me a little bit melancholy. I liked the characters although they could be frustrating which made them feel very real. For me, this was a story about relationships and I enjoyed seeing the multiple points of view and how they saw each other's actions. The writing, especially in the beginning of the book, felt pretentious.

I was completely blindsided by this book. I usually take a peek at the synopsis, so I have a clue about a book I'm about to read, but this book had been on my TBR for a while and I kept seeing it in every bookstore, so all I knew was that I thought it would be fabulous and I wanted to read it ASAP. I am not into gaming at all. I am in the generation where my kids played Mario. I agree with other reviewers that this book is much more than about gaming and learning some about that industry was int ...more
