I mostly liked this, but I'm afraid my dismissive reaction to how the "playing an online game without knowing who the other person really is" plot was set up, ruined it for me for a bit. Because in parts I expected both of them to not reveal their real name / personality. I'm ok with Jack being Jack, but not at all with whom Vi pretended to be. A boy, yes fine, that's what it says in the summary, but this boy? Oh no. Too easy, too much foreseeable drama and conflict. I also realized I'm not a big fan of computer games and that part of the plot just turned boring for me quickly. All in all, not a bad read, but just not stellar either. (19 November 2024)
