NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • 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 heard before.

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.

Beautiful

This is one of those rare books that only come around once in a blue moon. It is so good and so deep As a masterclass in character development. Everyone has an arc. I am still digesting the layers of nuance and subtlety. Listening to this is like savoring the greatest peach ever grown.

Loved, loved, loved it!

I'm predicting here that this will be on the NYT list of ten best books of the year; it just moved to the top of my list. Deeply defined characters and their nuanced relationships combine with themes of love, friendship, art, feminism, disability, and work to give this book so much staying power in my brain that frequently can't remember what I read the previous week. Many reviewers have noted you don't have to be a gamer to like it, but I will say it made me want to go explore the gaming world more. Performance was also excellent.

tomorrow... an excellent listen.

well crafted. intriguing characters. good setting of game writers and a take on romance and friendship, collaboration and competition. top notch.
One of the things Zevin does particularly well is create (and detail even-handedly) personal conflicts between the characters. In fact, a more apt title might be Both Sides, the name of a game that gets developed in the book. The different perspectives on the events are meticulously thought out and insightful.

Loved this book!

An original story that captures both contemporary gamers and old -fashioned themes of love, grief, coming of age, and more. I thought the reader(s) did a wonderful job. So glad I listened to this.

Could not stop listening

This book kept me and my family captivated driving 8 hours through Maine. The character development is exceptional.
