"This book was a familiar read as I felt the main character's struggle with imposter syndrome. It definitely took me on an emotional journey as she worked against the powers that be in an industry that has been shown to be not so kind to women."
"Rookie is deserving of Rookie of the year. An accurate and poignant tale about reaffirming your self-worth and finding your voice in a sea of treachery. Mixed in with some malicious compliance here and there, Rookie depicts an accurate depiction of the gaming industry from the inside out. Tardif delivers the uncomfortable truth and gives perspective and nuance to the aftermath of a historical cultural shift."
"Rookie is an absorbing, suspenseful, and enriching story that reveals the stakes and faces (albeit fictional) behind so many headlines and statistics that people may know but not feel the relevance of. It's a story of visibility of employees and transparency of corporations - emphatically suggesting both be seen for who they really are. It's a compelling story of justice and courage, and most of all, one that moves the reader to empathize, think, and question. An enjoyable and important read." #humanityoverprofits
