recently saw an nyt readers' choice list which put this at no. 7 and have mixed feelings about it lol. i'm a huge fan of gabrielle zevin's work and have been ever since memoirs of a teenage amnesiac (still a YA novel close to my heart) and i love game dev stories, so it was really disappointing for me to not be able to get into this one. i feel like it might partially be because it reminds me a lot of the mythic quest episode ‘a dark quiet death' which i felt explored a similar theme in a much better way!
highly recommend any of gabrielle zevin's other works still, though. still happy if this is someone's gateway to the rest of her bibliography.
