MY VERDICT? Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin took me by surprise. It’s not the kind of book I would typically go for as I’m not really into gaming or tech. But this novel is so much more than that. At its core, it’s a deep dive into the relationships between a group of friends, each carrying their own burdens and traumas. The way these connections are portrayed is so moving that I was in tears. Zevin’s ability to weave together the world of gaming with such raw and heartfelt emotion makes this book a standout – as does the beautiful cover.
The Blurb:
This is the story of Sam and Sadie. It’s not a romance, but it is about love. When Sam catches sight of Sadie at a crowded train station one morning he is catapulted straight back to childhood, and the hours they spent immersed in playing games. Their spark is instantly reignited and sets off a creative collaboration that will make them superstars. It is the 90s, and anything is possible. What comes next is a decades-long tale of friendship and rivalry, fame and art, betrayal and tragedy, perfect worlds and imperfect ones. And, above all, our need to connect: to be loved and to love.
