I was told this book was about gaming, but similar to how I view Ted Lasso, the best parts aren't when the book doesn't show the actually gaming aspects.

I found the three co-founders of Unfair very relatable throughout, although (I'm probably being biased here) I found Sam's grandparents as my favorite characters despite their small cameos throughout the book. Other characters such as Dov, Ant, and Simon also were written fairly accurate to reflect the gaming generation of their respective eras imo

There are few reasons as to why I'm a bit hesitant to give it 5 stars is because I would've loved a bigger dive into the various themes such as racism, sexism in the gaming industry, etc. I felt that Zevin brushed over them and those problems were just easy to be conquered.

Moreover, while the constant change of Sam and Sadie's friendship status is fairly realistic, I thought it was unreasonable for Sadie to constantly hold some grudge over Sam on a myriad of reasons, especially when Sadie gave Sam the initial (and rightful) reason to halt their friendship (that Sam later acquiesced).

Overall, I'd recommend this book (and have been to a few folks) as it kept me engaging and enjoyed it!
