that was a fun read! and I imagine that if this book had existed when I was a teenager i would've been absolutely obsessed. It took me a little bit to get into the whole "young adult" style at the beginning, because it is after all quite juvenile (you know, high school crushes and cliques and all that). But that didn't make it less enjoyable. I truly understand the desperation of wanting to play a game so badly that you literally stop living (like when the sims 3 came out and I RAN home to be able to play for a few minutes) there were points where I also was holding my breath because the stakes were literally that high (no spoilers, but something about tea). Really enjoyed it.
