Divya, known as D1V in the gaming world, is a star when it comes to
leading her #AngstArmada through the vast virtual universe of Reclaim
the Sun. With her friend Rebekah, as producer, she posts videos of
her conquests. She has enough fans that she has sponsorships. She’s
able to sell the products she receives to help pay the rent and help
her mother finish her courses. However, there are trolls out there
and they are intent on driving Divya out of the gaming world.
Aaron’s whole
desire is to be a game developer. This conflicts with his mother’s
plan to have him become a doctor like her. He loves writing games for
a local developer, but there are problems in that relationship. He
uses time playing Reclaim the Sun to get away from his everyday
difficulties. There he meets Divya.
Aaron and Divya are
attracted. Through the game they get to know each other and as danger
becomes more real, help each other.
This is a great
contemporary story that is almost science fiction. It explores topics
important to YA readers in today’s world: racism, sexism, and
doxing. Whether you’re a gamer, or not, this is a good story with a
delightful romance between two geeky teenagers.
I received this book
from Harlequin for this review.
