I think I was just not the right audience for this book. For me it did not live up to the hype, and I can't really see why it is so highly praised. It is about middling, a bog standard relationship novel, really. I didn't dislike it and it wasn't bad, but it doesn't have anything new in it for me.
I do love games and play many genres of game, though, so to see games coming through to literature is fun, though the games were just a backdrop to a love story (and I am not into the latter)
