NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • Sam and Sadie—two college friends, often in love, but never lovers—become creative partners in a dazzling and intricately imagined world of video game design, where success brings them fame, joy, tragedy, duplicity, and, ultimately, a kind of immortality. It is a love story, but not one you have read before.
“Delightful and absorbing.” —The New York Times • “Utterly brilliant.” —John Green
One of the New York Times’s 100 Best Books of the 21st Century • One of the Best Books of the Year: The New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, TIME, GoodReads, Oprah Daily
From the best-selling author of The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry: On a bitter-cold day, in the December of his junior year at Harvard, Sam Masur exits a subway car and sees, amid the hordes of people waiting on the platform, Sadie Green. He calls her name. For a moment, she pretends she hasn’t heard him, but then, she turns, and a game begins: a legendary collaboration that will launch them to stardom.
These friends, intimates since childhood, borrow money, beg favors, and, before even graduating college, they have created their first blockbuster, Ichigo. Overnight, the world is theirs. Not even twenty-five years old, Sam and Sadie are brilliant, successful, and rich, but these qualities won’t protect them from their own creative ambitions or the betrayals of their hearts.
Spanning thirty years, from Cambridge, Massachusetts, to Venice Beach, California, and lands in between and far beyond, Gabrielle Zevin’s Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow examines the multifarious nature of identity, disability, failure, the redemptive possibilities in play, and above all, our need to connect: to be loved and to love.

Very difficult to put down; it’s almost as if the story itself is structure in “levels”: each finished a chapter made me look forward to the “next level”. And the characters are beautifully build. An amazing book.

This book pulled me in right off the bat. Character development is excellent, subject matter feels current and relevant to current events and conversation topics around video game culture, coming of age but in your 20s and being Jewish but not as a main identifier.

I love a book that takes a topic that doesn’t particularly interest me (i.e. gaming) but still manages to make it such an interesting and incredible read. I am far from a “gamer”, and while this book mostly revolves around the gaming industry and uses a lot of terminology and talk that I wasn’t always able to follow, I was still able to feel engrossed in the story and was just as invested in it. Alongside with gaming, this book also does an amazing job at exploring various friendships, relationships, etc. and seeing how they change over time. I really do enjoy a story that takes place over a period of time and seeing how the characters and their relationships change with them, and this book is an excellent example of that.
That being said, I feel like there was a portion of the book where my interest level dropped a little (about after the first 1/3 of the book). I feel like the characters became a little stagnant at that point, seemed like there was a bunch of unnecessary drama, and fell a little flat for me. And I was starting to feel very disconnected from the characters. BUT… then the about 3/4 of the way in…. Gabrielle just hits you with the biggest punch to the gut I’ve gotten from a book in a while. And I was left with my jaw hanging open, and realized just how close to the characters I was in that moment. All feelings of being disconnected were gone, and I was left with my heart on the floor. But seriously, that chapter (Part VII: The NPC: You are flying. – you know the one), was one of the most tragic, beautifully written chapters I’ve ever read. Whether you enjoyed the book a lot, or none at all, no one can deny how emotionally impactful that chapter was. I’m still reeling from it.
This was one I listened to on audio, and was definitely a good choice. The narrator was amazing, and did an incredible job at bringing the characters to life. While this book wasn’t a knock out 5 stars for me, it was still an amazing read and definitely recommend it to everyone.

This story moved me. I am 66 and am not a gamer, yet the nature of deep friendships won me over from the start. I cared about these people. Friendship takes work. Just when one person wants to nurture it, the other is sliding away from it — and then it slides the other way. Humans are complicated, and our friendships reflect that. The author brilliantly shines a light on such complications. Life happens, people change, communication-sent is different than communication-received. The author gave me new insight on the nature of friendships, and a bit of hope.

Wow. This book, this writer, is just WOW. I have zero interest in gaming and gamers but this author created a masterpiece of literature and story that just sucked me in. Her characters were so rich and tender – love that not a single one was flat – even the Bandana guys who could only see ‘other’ in those unlike them.
I don’t even know how to describe what I experienced bc it was so much more than the story and the plot. It was true art. Sam and Sadie were endearing and frustrating and well, so deeply and beautifully human.
The world of game creating and the lives of gamers was fascinating – mainly bc of how Zevin told it. Her writing and storytelling seemed effortless which means the exact opposite – the mark of a brilliant writer.
This was truly a masterpiece. I will read anything else by this author. What I have missed for so long in many of the NYT bestsellers is HEART and SOUL and HOPE and ACHE and FRAIlTY all wrapped into one. Nothing trite. Nothing cliche.
Beautiful work. Well done. Now I am going to do a deep dive read on this author bc I am dying to know more about her!!!

I loved everything about this book, couldn’t put it down and read it basically nonstop. The story was compelling, the characters felt real and relatable, and most of all their conflicts and tribulations felt real.

Page turner, interesting and well written about love, empathy, friendship and the gaming world. Recommend highly, great read for all as I’m not a gamer.

It’s insane how good this book is. I was addicted to it the whole time I was reading. And it feels real!

This book is very well written. I had a hard time getting engaged in some respects. It might have been the paving for me. I struggled the first 100 pages. Also, I didn’t particularly like either Sadie or Sam, but I’m not sure I was supposed to like them. Marx was the saving Grace for me. I’m also not a gamer so the constant gaming banter could be overwhelming. It definitely worth trying because this is a good author.
