I don't know if the book didn't live up to my expectations or if I was just not in the right headspace to appreciate it. I expected a 5-star read, but it was just fine.

It's very well written. However, nothing about it surprised me or really stuck out to me. The emotional parts didn't land as I think they were meant to.

I hesitate to recommend it, but I also hesitate to write it off.

The characters are so complex and their pain cuts deep. The video game presence is cool and fun.

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow is a heart-wrenching tale of souls bound by friendship and love throughout trials and tribulations and healing. The main characters are intricately and wonderfully written. When you think it can't get any more tragic, it somehow gets more tragic. I also appreciate its strange metacommentary on video games.

They were right, everyone was right, dammit this book is good. I was debating whether to 5 star it bc a decent part of the back half made me feel detached and depressed but like… thats what the characters were feeling too so it just made me feel, and i teared up a bit multiple times, and the ending was really good at tying shit up emotionally without a ‘happily ever after’ shit. The second person perspective labyuage after [major spoiler event] was incredibly well done and after it ended and went back to Sam and his thoughts on [same major spoiler event] it hit me like a truck, almost cried but unfortunately didnt bc i suck at crying. 

First book ive ever annotated, and i have just a bunch of kinda kitchy nuggets of wisdom from in here.

I love this book.

"Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."
-Macbeth

This book was so good in my opinion. I really enjoyed the story and I loved that most of it was set in the 90s and 00s so all the popular culture they mentioned I remembered from when I was a child. 

The two main characters Sadie and Sam were childhood friends having met in hospital at around age 12 where they bonded playing video games. 

Fast forward to their late teens/20s they both have an interest in creating a video game which they named Ichigo. Sam's roommate also helped with the game with money and producing it.

The book follows the characters through the trials and tribulations of working with your best friend, starting a company, artistic differences and personality clashes.

I would definitely recommend this book, I loved it 😊❤️
