This was a rollercoaster of emotions but in a good way. I really enjoyed the reading experience.

The characters were frustrating but in a relatable way, though I wish Sadie had tried to communicate more but I can understand her reluctance to seeing as Sam was often closed off. In saying this, I didn’t feel like this negatively impacted the reading experience as they were still well-rounded and real characters, and their actions and attitudes reflected their experiences.

The storyline was emotional and made you feel for these characters in a multitude of different ways, often despite how you may have felt about their recent actions. 

I enjoyed the writing style and the pacing of the book was good. I liked how it didn’t dwell on the games and creation of games, but the impact these games and experiences had on the characters instead.
