Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle ZevinMy rating: 4.5 of 5 stars
Enjoyed this book!
This book made me miss playing video games! While gaming is a strong part of the story, at the heart of this book is relationships. There are three people, two guys and a gal. Sam meets Sadie while in the hospital, after not having talked for weeks after the car accident that killed his mother and shattered his ankle. They are kids who bond over playing video games. There’s a falling out and they reconnect in college, where the third main character enters as Sam’s roommate Marx. Eventually Sam and Sadie start making video games, and Marx becomes the everything else in supporting their coding and creations.
The novel isn’t told in direct linear fashion, and is mostly with Sam’s point of view, but not exclusively. While I enjoyed the book by the end, I was annoyed by both characters, and Marx a bit too, but not as much. Perhaps that made the characters seem more realistic, not being perfect.
This book is the first I’ve read by the author and won’t be the last.
Thanks to Knopf Doubleday Publishing and NetGalley for an uncorrected electronic advance review copy of this book.
