It surprises me that a story centered around gaming and gaming culture could be so fucking tedious and bore me to tears in some aspects. I'm sorry, but most interesting parts of the story were the descriptions of the games that they made and the stories of them as children, because who they are now are just pretentious, obnoxious assholes.

I honestly liked one character and it was a side character--both of the main characters annoyed the crap out of me half the time. Sure, everyone has flaws, but miscommunication is one of my least fucking favorite tropes in a book and that's half of what this is and Sadie is nearly insufferable when it comes to blaming everything in her life on someone else.

My rage about the characters in this book alone makes me want to give this book 2 stars, but I'd say it's probably like 2.5-3. I actually don't understand why I finished this.
