Publisher's Summary:
My life is spinning out of control faster than I can say sorry for all the things I've done since this whole planetary shift began.
Like apologize for the fact I made out with my soon-to-be stepbrother. And his stepbrother. And that I'm crushing on the one guy I swore I'd never be into...while keeping it all from my BFF.
Mom says I think the world revolves around me, but the truth is, I'm just trying to survive the worst week of my life.
The universe is legit out to get me. It started when my gaming nemesis deleted my AsteroMine galaxy and it's only gone downhill from there.
It isn't my fault. I swear.

Oh my god, this book. Let me explain something to you... I crazy stalk new release books on Amazon everyday, and I do add some of them to my wishlist. What I don't do is immediately buy a book when I see it, except this one.
I'm pretty busy right now, but I planned on reading this in December when I had a couple weeks off. As you may be able to tell, it is not December yet. I couldn't even make it a month without reading this.
5% into the story, and I knew I would love it. Do you mean character is a teenager girl obsessed with a video game. That is basically my life. Although I am no longer teenager, most of teen years were spend online playing video games.
There is a whole of a lot of drama in this book. Maggie, the main character, is trying to figure out how to balance her obsession with this game and real life. I have been there.
I met my husband on an online game. I tried to kill his character off shortly after we first met. We went from never talking, to talking online all the time, to talking on the phone all the time. The majority of our conversations were about the game, at first. But then things changed, we met in real life, and long story short we just celebrated our 5 year wedding anniversary.

This is the exact kind of nerdy romance that I have always wanted to read, because I can relate to it. This was fantastic, I loved it, and I had a huge grin on my face during the entire last 10% or so.
So good!
This book kind of came at the perfect time for me. Mercury retrogrades will kick your butt, such is the case with Maggie who I found to be completely relatable when I recall my own angsty and melodramatic teen years. This is a testament to Anya who really knows how to write teenagers. The dialogue impressed me the most and even though I'm no gamer I had no trouble keeping up with the pace and plot. Tallie was a great side character and I'm stoked she's getting her own story! Also this book really made me want to visit Seattle.
Light and fun. Five stars for sure!
*** I read an ARC of this book***
This book is so much fun! Maggie's voice shines with her unique personality the whole way through. She doesn't always make the right decisions, but I loved how she grew throughout the story. I could definitely identify with Maggie and the way she seemed to dig herself deeper and deeper as the plot progressed. I definitely grew to love all of the characters and was SO happy to see there's a second book in this series coming out. Can't wait to read more.
CUTE! CUTE! CUTE!
CUTE. CUTE. CUTE. Perfect escapism that I needed in a my hectic life. I enjoyed the characters, I love reading about Seattle, and then we went away for a destination wedding as well.
