They were, however, realistic of the miscommunications that plague us when we are younger. Great character development and character dynamics, even if the constant miscommunications between Sadie and Sam drove me insane. Beyond the video game aspect, at its core, this is a coming of age book, which I always love, and if you enjoy that kind of book as well, I think you will also enjoy.
If you have NEVER played a video game in your life, nor heard of a single game, this book is probably not for you. I do however, know what most of the current and past popular video games are about, so I was able to make the connection and understand what was being referenced throughout the book. Despite being heavily about video games, I found the book very palatable as someone who is a “non-gamer”. I wasn’t sure if I was going to like this one because it is so much about video games. The story follows them deciding to create a game together the successes and failings that follow and the general ups and downs of life, career, and their friendship over the course of years and years. Sadie and Sam were childhood best friends who bonded over video games and they reconnect in college.
The story primarily follows the lives of two video game programmers, Sadie and Sam. This book is having a big moment right now, it is very popular and was recommended to me many times before I finally picked it up. I have wanted to start sharing more in depth reviews of books I’ve been reading and be able to chat with y’all in the comments about what you thought about the book, and your opinions on things in it! Quick Synopsis And while the following list is definitely not exhaustive, it is at least a start based on the key features readers like us responded to.I’m going to call this post and review of Tomorrow, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow the very first post of the Regular Folks’ book club! For some time now, I have been playing around with the idea of making a little online book club here on the blog. Never before have I read a book and felt as seen across multiple dimensions of my personality.įinding books like Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow usually means resorting to comparing elements of the book with similar elements of another. It is clear Zevin has invested a lot of time and research in bringing this story together.
It is not a coming-of-age book, although it does show how life experiences can heavily influence our life choices. It is not only for gamers, but it is about the creative process behind the gaming experience. It is not a romance novel, and yet there is a love story. It rests across a few different genres and writing styles, touching upon different life experiences and giving them a relatable setting. So much so that in 2023, I’m looking for more books like it. In 2022, I read Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin, and I, like so many, many others, fell in love with it.
