Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
An incredible book about friendship, partnership, love, and most of all video games. Sam and Sadie meet in a hospital game room when they are 12 years old. Sam has been in a car accident, was seriously injured, and hasn't spoken to anyone since. They bond through playing video games together. Fast forward 10 years and they meet on a subway platform in Boston, where they are both in college. Together they develop an incredibly successful video game and form a company with Sam's roommate, Marx. It follows the three of them over the next decade of their careers.
The deep dive into the video game industry was fascinating for me. However, the book is about so much more than just video games. It's about the volatile friendship between Sam and Sadie, and their ongoing relationship ups and downs. It's a character-driven novel that shows life isn't always predictable and pretty and successful.
I'm still thinking about this book more than a week after I've finished it, which is a sure sign that it has made an impact and will be one of my 2023 favorites!
