She’s struggled with gaming addiction before, so she keeps this part of her life from her dad and her IRL friends, because she can’t stand the idea of this being taken away from her. She stays up late, ignoring her homework and checking her phone constantly. So she spends even more time in her roleplay world. I won’t spoil anything, but she hardly gets in touch with Cass at all after that. She was a central pillar of Cass’s life-and she just drives off after a five minute conversation. Her mother was the most important person her life, the one who overdoes holidays and ropes her and her dad into a million traditions, the one who was there for her in all her lowest moments. I feel like I was more angry at her than Cass was. She immediately gets up and drives off to another state. She met someone online, and she’s moving to be with him and divorcing Cass’s dad. Then, at the very beginning of the book, her mom sits her down to have a conversation. Needless to say, I cared a lot about Cass and felt protective of her while reading.Ĭass has escaped into the world of roleplaying to avoid her parents’ fighting. I was a fat nerdy queer teen who was obsessed with a book series and roleplayed in an online community! She’s a chronic overthinker, I’m a chronic overthinker. I’m almost glad this wasn’t around when I was a teen, because I’m not sure I could handle reading it then!Ĭass is a fat, nerdy queer teenager who is obsessed with a book series and roleplays as one of the characters in an online community.
