Description

NEW YORK TIMES BEST SELLER • 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 • "Utterly brilliant." —John Green

 
One of the Best Books of the Year: The New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, TIME, GoodReads, Oprah Daily

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, 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.

  • Complicated

    By Jeff M.A
    A good book even if you are not a gamer, but probably better for those who are. I do feel it relies a little too heavily on the games to tell the story but it still has something that keeps you in the story/game.
  • Sweet read

    I really liked this book. I liked the development of the characters. It touches on intimate & plutonic love, and grief. It was. Sweet read. It left me feeling emotional but not in a bad way.
  • Bizarre book

    Hard to really develop interests in the characters. The story is all over the place and sometimes hard to follow.

    All I can say is wow, these characters are beautifully depicted, the world seems vividly real, and my soul feels entrenched in the messy yet beautiful lives Sadie, Sam, and Marx live while making games. I want to know more of their lives (an expansion pack as you say) but the ending really ties together the theme of the book. Genius storytelling.
  • Loved it!

    I grew up playing video games in the 80’s as a kid and easily related to Sam and Sadie. I thought their stories were fascinating and I was awe struck with many twists and turns the author took me on discovering them. The other characters, Dov, their families, and Marx, were perfectly created to compliment them. I highly recommend this book. It is a page turner.
  • Unique and wonderful

    The only book I’ve ever read that uses gaming as an allegory for life. A bittersweet, heartbreaking, yet hopeful story. One of my favorite books of the year.
