“If there‘s a feeling to home, it‘s this. A place where there are no secrets, where nothing stays buried: not the past and not yourself. Where you can be all the versions of you, see if all reflected back as you walk the same stairs, the same halls, the same rooms.”

I usually don‘t like books with unlikeable main characters. However, I enjoyed this book. I loved gaming when I was younger, so maybe that helped.
