It didn't do much for me if I'm being honest.
It's a lot of gaming language and video games scenes, and I get that's a big part of the plot but in the beginning it bothered me a bit. To be clear the book is honest up front about this because it literally starts with a glossary of terms, so you know what you're getting into. Then the book kept going and suddenly that was the best part because Drew's friends are just flat characters, each one has a very specific reason for existing, the "spokesperson for sexuality, fluidity and similar themes", "the douche guy who talks shit" and "the girlfriend of the douche guy", it's tiring. I am at least glad the author didn't write a book with the message "start living real life, entertainment shouldn't be such a big part of your time!".
In summary it's an okay book, but be prepared to see A LOT of gaming references and language

So this was pretty amazing. I will say that although there is a glossary provided, if you do not have any familiarity with MMOG games, it might be a little slow reading at first since there is quite a bit of terminology and abbreviations used as part of this is written in the in game chat format.

This is a love story for all the online RPG gamers out there.
If you've played games like World of Warcraft (which the gaming aspects in this book most closely resembles) on a semi-addict basis, then you will probably enjoy this book a lot. I felt a lot of nostalgia reading this.
However, non-online RPG gamers will have some difficulty connecting with this book as there's a lot of jargon and game-specific references that are challenging to understand.
I loved all the characters in this book. In many ways, they remind me of my old friends as well.
Beautiful, evocative but strictly niche romance.
