Story
The freeway is coming. It will cut the neighborhood in two. Construction has already started, pushing toward this corridor of condemned houses and cracked concrete with the momentum of the inevitable. Yet there you are, in the fifth house on the left, fighting for your life. Ramey, I. The victim of the bet between two manufactured gods: the seductive and lethal Roxy (Oxycontin), who is at the top of her game, and the smart, high-achieving Addison (Adderall), who is tired of being the helpful one, and longs for a more dangerous, less wholesome image.

Story
The drought - or the Tap-Out, as everyone calls it - has been going on for a while now. Everyone’s lives have become an endless list of don’ts: don’t water the lawn, don’t fill up your pool, don’t take long showers. Until the taps run dry. Suddenly, Alyssa’s quiet suburban street spirals into a warzone of desperation; neighbors and families turned against each other on the hunt for water. And when her parents don’t return and her life - and the life of her brother - is threatened, Alyssa has to make impossible choices if she’s going to survive.

mind expanding questions are asked and explored.
Great title exploring life from the perspective of what if we dont accept the reality we are in but create our own?
The critics and publishers description were extremely vague and I feel misleading. There isnt a bunch of sci-fi stuff going on here, and no time travel, merely an unexplained dimensional shift where various time threads are explored in the main characters lives. The story line is an exploration of various aspects of our lives and what happens if we make this change or that change. How does it affect our lives and how does that affect our friends and families?
Questions asked through this story telling are quite relevant to young minds in this day and age. I feel it should be disclosed that many valuable lessons in life are explored and the reader is encouraged to think about their own life choices and how they have or would react in certain situations. at one reality shift, the protagonist is in a reality where he is (or perhaps becomes?) gay. The choices made and descriptions given I feel are worthy of exploration and this book would be well received on any HS reading list. I felt like there should have been more of this mentioned somewhere in descriptions of the title.

Social Justice Oveeload
I enjoyed the story, but have done without Shusterman shoving his social views down the readers throat. All if his books have a social tone, but this one was over the top. Therefore if you are white, a male, middle to upper class, and heterosexual just know you are wrong in everything you do and say. As long as you know that this is a good read. Please just tone it down Shusterman not every person described above is as bad as you want your readers to think they are.

Interesting concept and story if you can get past some of the distracting premises
Interesting and thought provoking concept. As in any work of fiction, some suspension of belief is necessary. Game Changer is no different, the idea of a protagonist going through different iterations of reality and literally seeing the world through different points of view was great. Neal Shusterman is a talented writer, and if you're a fan of his other works, this one will keep you engaged as slowly descend deeper into the plot.
My only real critique is the less than subtle social commentary. It is not unusual for writers to have a left-leaning/progressive bent that gets revealed through their writing. However, typically authors, including Shusterman, tend to be more artful about how it is conveyed. The woke, race conscious messaging in this book hit you over the head pretty hard. The protagonist's white privilege racial consciousness revealed through his interactions with his Black best friend is so obtuse it borders on parody throughout the story. I thinks it detracts from the story, because it made the protagonist's best friend incredibly one dimensional and it centered on his race, nothing else. All the other characters, from the protagonist's female and male love interests, his primary antagonists, and tertiary antagonists, all reveal themselves to have far more complex motivations.
You get the impression that the author is trying to reflect something about the current state of national racial divisions. However, its notable that most of the story takes place in an alternate world where racial divisions are amplified through de jure racial segregation policies. As if, in order to make the author's commentary about how bad national racial divisions make sense, he had to invent a fictitious world where real racial divisions are the norm, not the exception.
The issues the characters face that are framed as racial conflicts are better explained through classism and the importance of intact family structures than anything else. The protagonist's Black friend that is headed to college on a football scholarship was raised in a nuclear family with a present father and mother figure.
Besides that, it is engaging, well written. The narration is fantastic. The characters are, for the most part, intriguing and multi-dimensional. Not my favorite Shusterman book, but still interesting.

I cant reccomend enough.
This book struck a cord with me that i wanted in other books by neal shusterman. His books always have likeable characters. And a premise that makes you think. And this really feels like everything i loved about Scythes, Unwind, soul shards and everlost. But the stakes didnt matter much to me. The characters drove this story at a pace that made me wanna see where the next chapter would go everytime. Personally i was thrown threw a loop that the main character is a typical jock on the surface. His main thing is football. something i thought imediately would make him less identifyable. i was thankfully wrong. Ash was a pretty cool protagonist and i loved his arch.
The Romance felt very good, something hetorsexual writers often forget is Gay people are people. All too often people write a gay couple as cliche or a joke. but I knew imediately this author knew his stuff. i loved all dynamics that were explored. it reallt makes you think about other peoples points of view. i hope this book has a sequel. Hopefully with a new cast but the same idea.
It was wonderful and im glad i listened.

Do you like your authors woke?
A far cry from the world building, depth, entertainment and plot of Scythe. If you like continually being reminded that Neil is all about diversity and he's as woke as woke can be, buy this book. If you prefer your entertainment more enjoyable and less racial non-fiction, this is the book for you.

Not what I was expecting
I loved the Toll, Unwind, and other books by author, but this one was just hard to finish and seemed to drag on. I think the ideas were good and am glad to see books that tackle some of the subjects covered, but the book felt lacking. Unwind blew my mind and I felt it was a understanding way to cover topics, this book felt rushed and trying too hard to make a point, and just lost its story somewhere. The ideas didn't feel new or refreshing, if anything it felt like someone read one of the author's other books and thought " I'm going to try to write a thoughtful story like he does," and failed.

Very good!
I enjoyed this one. It's a multiverse jumping story.
An American high school football star is literally knocked into another universe after colliding with another player on the field.
This continues throughout the story, each world he finds himself in, there are slight differences. The story is of him trying to get back to his original world.
My mild criticisms are; I would have preferred that the narration had been done by just one person, as opposed to the secondary reader who had a minor part in the narration. And I would have preferred some more harder science used in the plot.
However, I have read this author before. His stories focus on the YA audience. So perhaps there's just enough science used to cater to that audience.

i have to admit, this wasnt a very essy read. it was uncomfertable & challenging at tikes. i was happy 2 see a wide range of steriotypes covered not just race. pretty good book. worth a read. i couldnt give it 5 stars though bcuz where were disabled people.... i think the issue of race was focused on a as primary & that bugged me almost got me to stop listening but ik glad i ddnt.
