For me this was a fun story. And yes, I do remember bits and pieces of the movie "The Last Starfighter". And yes, the beginning was similar to the movie. Except there were a fair amount of differences. I liked that Jamie was interacting with two other women who were also playing in the "game." They had never met in person but they had fought together and had fun together too. Space friends who I would like to read their stories too. Just for fun you understand.
Jamie and get spicy in this story versus the movie; there's another difference. In fact, there does end up being quite a bit of sex, which I didn't get all that into. I liked spunky Jamie and even Alex gets my vote as someone who has been watching and longing for Jamie. I appreciated that it wasn't in a stalker kind of way.
The second half of the book does ramp things up with good battles and some surprise twists towards the end. I just have to add that I thought the world building was pretty darn good. And I liked the the ending.
" I voluntarily read a copy of this book, and this is my honest opinion about it."
