I wanted to like this book more and I really loved the first 2/3 of it but the final 1/3 of the book was hard to get through since I found Sadie more an more unlikable as the book went on. The concept was unique and I loved the chapters that put the reader into a game but it felt rushed and forced at the end of the day.

I had no idea what to expect when I decided to get Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow on my Libby app. Honestly, had I known it was about video game producers I may have skipped it. But I can say that I am so happy that I read this book.  

It was the perfect combination of smart, emotional and uplifting. The characters are flawed but whole, their lives are complicated as are their relationships. The shifting timeline was done flawlessly. It felt like no time was passing at all because I was so wholly immersed in the experience. 

I can’t see what the flaws are… I wish there was maybe a bit more change in their characters as time went on. I understand Sam was unchangeable and that Sadie was complicated and dont get me wrong, I love full circle moments, but there was just maybe something slightly lacking that makes it a 4.5 rather than a 5. 

Honestly an amazing book and I will recommend it to so many people!

In the beginning, I liked this book and its characters. However, I got bored about halfway through and had little to no desire to pick it up for almost a month. I decided to give the audiobook a try, and I’m glad I did, because it helped me get back into the story.

At times, the storytelling was beautiful, and at other times, it seemed like it went on and on without purpose. Or, at least, I just didn’t really care as much as I wanted to. I’m not big into video games, so that could definitely be why.

I felt that the characters were realistic, and I appreciate that we got to see multiple sides of them over many years.

The ending of the book really redeemed it for me. I was close to putting it down a few times because of some of the sexual relationships in the book seemed out of place for the characters and kept coming up in odd places in the book, but I continued anyways. It was highly emotional, which isn’t something I normally read.

I’m in awe of the storytelling in this book. It was nothing I expected and everything I wanted. I started it a while ago and had a hard time getting into it. When I finally picked it back up, I soared through it, finding myself so invested in the narrative stop everything I was doing and just listen. It was a devastating and heartwarming opus on friendship and trauma. So glad I gave Sam and Sadie another chance.
