I know everyone loved this book and it was chosen as “book of the year” for 2022 by several entities but I found this book so incredibly sad. I kept thinking it would turn itself around and there would be joy or love or peace somewhere but, in the end, it just felt like emotional resignation by the main characters. I love AJ Fickry so I was hoping for some of the same uplift in Tomorrow but, alas, no.
If self-flagellation is your cup of tea, go crazy. Me? I will drop this book at the nearest used book store at my earliest convenience.

Not for me. Why did I think there was something gay about this book. Rainbow cover? Anyway not interested in sad contemporary books about video gamers with real world problems!
