I absolutely adore The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry by Gabrielle Zevin and I was super excited about her newest release, Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow. Set at the dawn of the video game age, Sam and Sadie have been friends since childhood when they, as seniors at separate elite universities, decide to try making their own game. Teaming up with Sam's roommate as producer, the three of them become famous in the world of gaming. There are successes and failures, loves and losses, and heartbreak both temporary and permanent. These characters are brilliant and brilliantly written. They are flawed and perfect in the most wonderful way.
The push and pull of friendship and the various kinds of love in this novel give it so much heart. The prose is beautiful. Zevin forces the reader to see her characters and so is drawn into their adventure and plight. I truly enjoyed this book. It was a fast read that kept me up too late at night. I hope you'll read and enjoy it, too.
