Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin
2.0
I really hate having to say this, but I had to ‘DNF’ this title at 30%. I do not decide to DNF often, especially not with advance review copies because I feel disrespectful doing so, but I just could not justify keeping going for ~300 more pages/~9.5 more hours when there are other books I would enjoy picking up more.
I did enjoy the first part recapping how Sam and Sadie met and their years spent apart leading up to their reuniting and I was eager to see what it would morph into, but after a while I found it really boring and hard to follow. I didn’t really understand if there was even a plot going on, there were quickly shifting timelines, and there was definitely no action or excitement to keep my interest.
I originally requested this title on NetGalley way before I knew it would be a Book of the Month pick because a bookstagram friend really enjoyed and recommended it, even for those that don’t play video games or have knowledge of the same. I know from various internet outlets that many people enjoyed this book and Zevin is still a really talented and creative author… this one just wasn’t for me. Maybe I will try to give it another stab at a future time.
Regardless, thank you so much to NetGalley, Knopf, and the author for an advance e-galley in exchange for an honest review. -@tirwinreads
