This book is about Vicky, a secret gamer from an abusive background who struggles to stand up for herself. Her brother is a successful e-sports gamer, playing for a sponsored team in a World of Warcraft like game. He thinks she has no interest in gaming at all, but pays her to be his manager/assistant.
Although I found that it took me a while to understand what exactly the game was, and even e-sports, the book covers a lot of interesting themes. The way women are treated in the gaming sphere? Still true. Domestic abuse and the trauma of that is also still a thing. I think the book really shined once it got into the gaming parts.
