Was quite repetitive at times and a large chunk of the book is anecdotal, so it was a quick read for me.

A wonderful, quick read looking into the British housing crisis and how government 'reform' has failed to put forth action into ensuring housing security is ensured for local communities and those that simply have a desire to have a permanent space to grow and live an adequate life in. Made a good point about how those that hold political power or are involved in planning processes, are simply looking out for their own individual wealth privileges and see home ownership as a financial investment rather than as an opportunity for people to "grow, learn, experiment, consider and rest".

I picked this up due to the hype surrounding it and after someone had recommended this as a love letter to video games, which I found to be true. I enjoyed the portrayal of game development and design the most. Nevertheless, after the first few chapters the pacing really slowed down and the book focused heavily on the two main characters, Sam and Sadie, and how their 'platonic' relationship changed over time. They're both flawed in their own ways, however, I found both of them to be really dislikable and insufferable, thus, it was really hard to immerse myself into the story when more than half the time they were fighting and not resolving the issues they had with each other.
