What a great book! I loved the incorporation of computer science/coding into a novel and making it feel so relevant in today's world. The characters were amazing and I fell in love with them.

I really enjoyed this book and I can see why its praise is so high! The storyline spanning so many years was interesting and I loved getting to see how the characters changed. Their friendship was so realistic and they dealt with so many challenges and changes. I also loved the gaming aspect and was really interested in how games are produced. This book was extremely character driven which felt a little slow for me at times.

I loved this book! Great read. Set in the world of video games in the late '90s/early 2000's, a very memorable exploration of friendship and love.

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow and Tomorrow was a novel that handled the complexities of friendship with a steady hand. It was all done within both real life and the gaming world. Though you do not have to be a video game lover to appreciate the story. The book delivered something unique and I am glad I read it.

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin is a unique story about Sam and Sadie's thirty-year friendship. At times, this felt repetitive, and I didn't love all the video game references so I enjoyed the first half better than the second half, but still an enjoyable read!

Thanks to #NetGalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest review.

This is the first book that I have read from this author and I am definitely interested in reading more. It has been some time since I have read something so completely original and thoroughly captivating at the same time. I felt like this book spoke to me on multiple levels as it followed the relationship that begins in childhood between two gamer friends. I liked that this author spent so much time making sure she was well versed on all things gaming and game creation to create something that was such a unique blend of tech, friendship, and coming of age. I will remember this one for quite some time and am glad that I got a chance to experience this one. Thanks for the ARC, NetGalley.

At first blush, this is a relatively quick and interesting story about friends who make a video game together. But this book really had me thinking after I had finished it. I loved the different formats Zevin used to tell the story, shifting narratives and frameworks, keeping the reader engaged and connected to the many layers of the story. The fact that it takes place in the 90s when I was also coming of age is a fun bonus. PS- I’m not much into video games, but that didn’t detract from my reading experience one bit.

Thank you NetGalley for an advanced copy.

What an excellent read. I couldn't put this one down. A portrayal of friendship that actually doesn't lead into romance. Just so good.

Thanks to @NetGalley and @Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group for the advanced copy of Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin.

Sam and Sadie don’t meet under the best circumstances, but they end up bonding over a shared love of video games. While they grow apart in periods of their lives, the video games always bring them back together.

This book is very relatable for anyone who grew up playing video games with friends and siblings. We see our characters grow and make mistakes and experience love and loss. This book was quite simply, beautiful. I enjoyed every page and will be certainly reading more from Zevin.

Another fun one! This one came to me via John Green's Instagram story & since I'm a big fan of his writing I knew I could trust his recommendation. For me personally, it had me hooked all the way through - no part of it dragged. I would definitely recommend this to someone who enjoyed Ready Player One or even the movie Free Guy.

I don't even know where to begin and describe this book. It is the love story about 3 people, or 2 people, set with a backdrop of video games. But it is also so much more than that. It is the story of a friendship that withstands a lot of ups and downs because two people can't really tell each other how they feel. I found myself so involved in wanting to make them see what we all could see. Sadie got on my nerves a few times. Sam got on my nerves a few times. Marx did not get on my nerves. He was one of the kindest characters ever.

The story moves slowly and that works to perfection. There are many lines that really hit home too. A totally satisfying ending capped off a great read.

Thanks to Netgalley and Knopf Doubleday for a copy of this book for review.

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow is one of those books that spans two decades or more. Sadie and Sam become friends when they are 12. Sam is in the hospital after being in a horrible car accident that mangled his foot. Sadie is bummed about her sister preventing her from going to space camp by being in the hospital. The two bond over video games. While I loved the references to the video games I was excited the coding parts were easy enough to understand. This book is so well written you can feel the love the characters have for each other. You will laugh, cry and relate to each, of the characters in one way or another.

Thank you netgalley and the publisher for the chance to read this digital arc. All opinions are my own.

A brilliant reflection on friendship, family, and the creative process. One does not need to have ever played a video game to feel totally immersed in this story of Sam and Sadie, who meet as children under tragic circumstances, eventually becoming partners in video game design. When Sam's college friend Marx enters the partnership, the relationship dynamics become much more complicated.
This is one of the rare books that really looks at a long term friendship over the years, through the joy, misunderstandings, , perceived betrayals, and eventual forgiveness.

If you loved Ready Player One, you’ll love Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow. It spans years, which is one of my favorite book types. You end up falling in love with the characters and their struggles since you’ve been with them since childhood. Often, games surrounding a video game plot can feel very surface and just try to cram as many pop culture references as possible just to add more and more references. This book didn't do that and I really appreciated that. I also liked the ending, how Zevin didn't take the easy way out by bringing two characters together.

As far as the writing style goes, I really enjoyed the different styles as Zevin goes into the stories of the different games that the main characters designed. Each "game" had a different voice and it was so interesting to see Zevin tie all of the different games and characters and voices together into one beautiful book.

Trigger Warning: There is a shooting at a workplace.

Thanks to NetGalley for the complimentary copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

A complex, character-driven novel with wonderfully flawed characters that will make you wish for more.

Down to the conceptualization of videos games themselves, the author uses the entire story to discuss multi-dimensional issues. From violence in video games to gay marriage to platonic versus romantic love, there are countless theme tucked into this book in a timeless, nuanced way.

Zevin spins a tale any reader can enjoy, even people who have never played video games!

I loved this story and the relationships explored between the characters. It was a glimpse into the world of gaming and also, you don't have to be a gamer in order to enjoy it. It was a bit of a slow burn, and the chapters were lengthy, but otherwise, I really liked this one. Thank you so much NetGalley for this e-ARC in in exchange for an honest review.

This story took a different direction than I anticipated, but I liked how it weaved through the character's experiences and explored each of their own personal trauma or challenges.

I've heard so many great things about this book. The writing style is just fantastic with so much attention to detail. I really liked the pacing and the overall formatting of the story. The vibes of the story were also fantastic as it brings a lot of nostalgia. Sam and Sadie are flawed and complicated but the story for them is just so intricately done and stunning.

Tomorrow, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow is a prime example of how to develop characters, as the book focuses on the journey of a friendship over time. I also loved the passion each protagonist brought to their work on video games. I never got bored with this book, as I wanted to see what new obstacle the characters would face. I did not give it 5 stars, but I would certainly recommend it. I think that sometimes the hype over a book can put greater expectations on it.

It's not often that a book has me staying up until the early hours of the morning, but this book did! Sam and Sadie met when Sam was in the hospital recovering from foot injuries he sustained in the auto accident that killed his mother. Sadie is there keeping her sister company while she undergoes chemotherapy for leukemia. They bond over their love of video games, and a great friendship is born.

I am a gamer, and I loved this book. The language and description of games, the total absorption into their video world as Sam and Sadie develop their first game - it all calls to me. But there is plenty in the novel to appeal to those who have never gamed, and who don't understand the attraction.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for the opportunity to read this fabulous book for review. All opinions are strictly my own.
