As a kid, Sadie Green spent a lot of time in the hospital waiting for her sister to have treatment. Sam Massur spent time in the hospital due to a series of surgeries to recover from a car accident.
Sadie and Sam met in the game room over the game Oregon Trail. They spend hours and hours together playing video games and talking.
After losing touch, they do not see each other for years. Then one day, Sam sees Sadie in a train station in Boston. Both are in college now: Sadie studying to make video games, Sam studying math but not loving it. During the chance meeting, Sam suggests they make a game together.
What follows is the story of a lifetime of friendship and the growth of a successful video game career / company.
Zevin captures the history of video games in this beautiful rale of friendship and love. Her writing and characters are wonderful. I will be reading her other books soon!
