i have a very brad bird ratatouille reaction to The Long Game in that i just think it's such a good title. i am not here to debate the actual contents of the book. do not subject me to that that's not what this is about. but The Long Game is such a good title. like it perfectly encapsulates the central conflict of the book, and it's got game in the title, which is a reference to sports. because they are hockey players. in a forbidden, long term relationship. they are playing the long game, if you will. it's like kind of genius. brad bird voice it's got rat. it's got food. ratatouille.
