Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow: A novel [B1117-PB]

2023 PB in Gift-Worthy condition. 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. One of the New York Times's 100 Best Books of the 21st Century.

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 game, 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.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "A beautifully written exploration of friendship, creativity, and connection. Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow was a bit of a step outside my usual reading genres, but I'm so glad I gave it a chance. It's thoughtful, emotional, and quietly powerful."; "This is a beautiful book, one that I will be recommending to everyone I know. It follows the friendship of Sadie and Sam over many years. It is different than most books about friendship or romance and all the better for it. The book is also about computer games, about which I know nothing, however, the games are woven into the story and become part of the story too. Read it, it's fab!"; "Loved the nostalgia of the book, from the pop culture references to the games that were mentioned. Did not care for the characters and at times wanted to shake them and tell them to 'get a grip!' Or simply 'communicate!!' "; "A wee but slow to start but then this became a memorable book. A novel contemporary subject with well developed characters and storyline. Recommended!"
