"This inventive graphic novel that unfolds online and IRL takes readers from the halls of middle school, to epic robot video game battles, and back again.

They're the best friends they've got, online or in the real world, and they don't even realize they go to the same middle school.

Note: I accessed a digital review copy of this book through Edelweiss.

Really good! I enjoyed Miles and Rhys. They felt like real middle-school kids. I also loved their families, and how it acknowledges the landscape of videogames and middle-school friendships is mch different now. It's hard to compare it to the olden days.

Now, the story resolutions were half-baked: All is given rather quickly. There's no real apology, and Miles never explicitly realizes the kids he tryna kiss up to aren't real friends. Real friends don't put you up to bullying, make you feel small for not doing something, or disparage something you enjoy that's not harmful.

There's a second book coming, so hopefully those issues get address there. (
