I really loved the diverse set of characters, the varied narrative and the different perspectives presented. However I feel that the strongest parts of the book are also it's biggest flaws: diverse character traits sometimes feel just listed without meaning, just to be also included; and the writing, in general style as well as for the use of fancy words and character insights seemed in part over the top and somewhat pretentious. Nonetheless Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow was a book I very much enjoyed reading in the end.

This is one of the best books I have ever read. I cannot even begin to explain how much I love this book. The writing, the characterization, the plot, the emotions. If you're in your late 20's or older, you will fall in love with these characters and their flaws, which make them so real.

Zevin's writing style is gorgeous and I need more of her in my life. Thank you for writing this. I'm so grateful to have found a signed edition at B&N <3

6/5 stars.
