Synopsis: 
 Seth Gordon has big plans to become the best Starfare player in the US so that he can join a Korean eSports team. The problem is that, unlike the Korean players, Seth can't devote all his time to video games. He has to go to school and juggle a job and deal with his parents divorce. Then he meets Hannah who ends up being a distraction he doesn't mind. But when he botches a competition, Seth is sure he'll never be able to practice enough to make it to a pro team. When he gets a call from the coach of Team Anaconda it's the start of all his dreams coming true and before he knows it he's on a plane chasing his dreams to Korea, but what meets him there is culture shock and a reality much different than the dream he had cooked up. 
 Thoughts: 
 This was one of those books that didn't turn out at all like I was expecting. It actually left me feeling a bit disappointed. I was expecting the get this great look into the Korean gaming world and Korean culture. Instead, most of the book took place in the US and when the MC was in Korea he had zero interest in the culture and actually acted like it was an annoyance he couldn't be bothered to learn about. I kept waiting for him to get over his culture shock or at least make an effort, but its not that kind of book. 
 While its a great story about how dreams don't always turn out like you think they will, it doesn't make the contribution to the WeNeedDivsereBooks campaign I thought it was going to.
