Reviews with content warning for Gun violence - Amanhã, amanhã, e ainda outro amanhã

I don't see myself as a fan of Coming-of-Age novels, but I really enjoyed this one. You can really see yourself as Sam or Sadie (or even Marx), going through life and it's vicissitudes by stage. The story is reminiscent of how we spent most of our childhood, playing video games. The plot flows seamlessly, with simple and accurate vocabulary to describe every situation and the characters thoughts / feelings.

On top of this I think this book has one of the best (if not the best) chapter I've read in my life in "NPC". Knowing from the beginning of the chapter how everything will wrap up and yet feeling so vulnerable at the end. Surreal and slightly disturbing experience that shakes you up in ways you haven't imagined.

this was a challenging read. dense and term-heavy i caught a few of the references but felt that it would be better enjoyed by a real gamer. regardless, this was incredibly well written, with nuanced characters and struggles. it wasn’t what i was expecting, and maybe that was for the better?
SPOILERS
it presents itself as an incredibly slow burning romance between sadie and sam and ultimately results in.. not that? slow burning friendship (?) i enjoyed the acknowledgement that not all love is romantic and that there are things more important than romance, but still found the change in tone resulting from marx’s death to be really hard to read. it felt like the plot derailed a little bit, emphasizing the need for that third person in sadie/sam’s relationship, especially marx. feeling conflicted over this. bumping it a bit bc im realizing how conflicted i really feel lol

I'll be honest, I did not go into this book with a lot of optimism. I don't do well with (sort of) contemporary to begin with and secondarily it was hyped by people who's tastes don't generally cross with my own. But I always try and do my best to read the books chosen by my bookclub, because I've found some surprising favorites over the years.

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow is a love story, but not. It is also a historical fiction novel (though I'm sure that statement is inflammatory to the rest of my generation that is short-circuiting as I call the 90s "historical") but also not because although it's mainly 90s-early 00s, with some 80s, it covers things within the last decade as well. I'm still not entirely sure what the main point of the book was.

(WIP)
