My Rating: 🍪🍪🍪.5

Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow closely followed the friendship of Sam and Sadie, starting when they met in the hospital as kids. The two quickly bonded over their love for video games, but fell out of touch until they ran into each other in Boston while they were both in college. They pick things up exactly where they left off and soon find themselves creators of the smash hit video game, Ichigo.

Zevin’s writing fully immersed me into Sam and Sadie’s reality. There is so much detail about their lives, feelings, and intricate relationships with other people that I felt like I truly knew them and understood their motivations. They were interesting and flawed and I thoroughly enjoyed the ebbs and flows of their friendship as they navigated their success together.

There was a lot of discussion of the mechanics and intricacies of video games which did get a little old for me by the end. I understand that that was the primary topic of this book, but I could have gone for a more general approach to the subject matter.

This writing style reminded me somewhat of Sally Rooney, with the same heavy focus on depth of character development.
