This book was certainly worth the hype. Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow is such a beautiful book. It covers such a wide range of themes and topics that I’m honestly not even sure what to say. The characters all felt incredibly real and Gabrielle Zevin did such a fantastic job delivering the complexities of their relationships with one another. I would recommend this book to people who love games, people who feel their ambitions are outrunning them, and people who love their friends.

Although there's a lot of content warning for this book, I believe it all to be to the benefit of the book to so capably handle difficult topics without coming across as indulgent or excessive.

I just really, really loved this - even though the characters were often problematic and flawed, they were still so appealing and the flaws so sympathetic, and their relationships felt beautiful and real. I also just thought the author's writing style, incorporating different viewpoints and also video game styling, was really brilliant. I didn't want it to end.
