Book · 2022 · Gabrielle Zevin

Not a love story. Something harder: two best friends, thirty years, and every game they couldn't stop making together. 🎮

Who it's for

Sam Masur and Sadie Green meet as children in a hospital game room, fall out, reunite as students and spend decades making video games together through fame, envy, disability and terrible loss.

What it is

Sam Masur and Sadie Green meet as children in a hospital in the 1980s, bonding over video games before a six-year separation. They reunite as university students in Boston and, with Sam's roommate Marx Watanabe, found a game studio called Unfair Games, whose first title becomes a hit.
