Content Note: Child abuse and child sexual assault.
Apparently this is sort of a sequel to another book but you can't tell and it's perfectly written as a standalone though I do now want to read the original.
Anyway onto the story... Beautifully written, addictive, real and an emotional punch to the gut. I loved that Emma wasn't just a female gamer but a game builder, that is so rare in life, not just fiction. I feel like the troll thing was dealt with a little too neatly, I sort of expected it to go in a different direction so that was interesting.
However among all that I relished Rev's chapters. His backstory drew me in completely and alongside there was the mystery of Matthew and his background - also heartbreaking.
I loved the way Rev and Emma's relationship developed and the way they grew as characters. Overall a brilliant book beautifully written.
