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.

Incredibly rare to find a love story about friendship. Moving. Powerful. Explores the different versions of true love and how we wound each other.

2.0

I didn’t like this book although I listened to the whole thing so maybe I liked it more than I thought. The entire book was the two main characters thinking about themselves. The only external things that happened were related to building their business and one act of uniquely American violence. Seriously, get over yourselves.

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.
