I really enjoyed this book. I don’t think I’ve read a book with a Gen-X cast, but it was nice to see a healthy relationship bloom between older characters.
Maggie is such a badass, with absolutely zero fucks given. She is fiercely protective over those she loves, and she won’t hesitate to kick somebody’s ass.
Aiden is an absolute teddy bear, and it was easy to fall in love with his character. For so long, he took all the blame for not being who everybody else wanted him to be. When he finally understands himself, with Maggie’s help, he opens up and becomes an even brighter version of himself.
The fact that these two met over an online computer game melts my heart even more. My father still plays these types of games and I have fond memories of my grandma playing before she passed.
My little nerd heart loves all of the references.
