Beautiful and heartbreaking. I loved it. I felt like I was there innovating these video games, the nostalgia and moment was really captured. The characters were so multidimensional, I really cared for them. Zevin also used some really beautiful language, really brilliant.

Guessed some of the ending, but still an enjoyable journey. I got very immersed in it, great to read in bad weather.
