A review by cat_rector
Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin
5.0
This book is as good as everyone is making it out to be. It's such a nuanced exploration of a lot of topics, but primarily I saw in it the deep harm we do to each other in the most casual, accidental ways.
I honestly don't think I can review this well without spoiling much. The writing style is immaculate, feeling both special and simple all at the same time. Things that we might tell other authors they're not allowed to do with plot and pacing and grammar, this author uses spectacularly. The book taps into so many subtle feelings while spelling out very little, and your perspective can completely determine the way you interpret the experiences of the characters.
This book is perfect for gamers of all intensities, especially if you grew up in the 90s.
My one single issue with this book is not an issue with the book. It's a deep sadness that the big second-half event has become a common relatable experience in the country the book is set in. That makes me deeply uncomfortable, but that's no fault of the author. They are simply translating an experience onto the page.
I'll be thinking about this book for a long time.
