The ending of the book really redeemed it for me. I was close to putting it down a few times because of some of the sexual relationships in the book seemed out of place for the characters and kept coming up in odd places in the book, but I continued anyways. It was highly emotional, which isn’t something I normally read.

Eu amei esse livro. Com a escrita da autora, a história - que poderia ser arrastada - se tornou algo diferente, algo surpreendente, que nem sei expressar o que senti ao ler. Em vários momentos me identifiquei com a personalidade dos personagens, como é a vida real acontecendo mesmo, não parecia ficção. Passei raiva, gritei de nervoso, implorei que houvesse conversa, ri de situações inusitadas e comemorei as conquistas, chorei de emoção. Foi tudo isso e mais um pouco. Sem dúvidas, um favorito.

I don't know if the book didn't live up to my expectations or if I was just not in the right headspace to appreciate it. I expected a 5-star read, but it was just fine.

It's very well written. However, nothing about it surprised me or really stuck out to me. The emotional parts didn't land as I think they were meant to.

I hesitate to recommend it, but I also hesitate to write it off.

The characters are so complex and their pain cuts deep. The video game presence is cool and fun.
