it's 3:40a. i finished this book some seven hours ago. i told myself that i'd write the review for this later but i can't sleep. so here we are.
this book is messy. the characters are messy. the relationships, the circumstances, the conversations had (and not had), everything -- it's all messy. and it's beautiful. it's real. it's real life..
it's spending an incalculable amount of time with someone you love, knowing them inside and out, only to find, decades later that they still have stories and secrets they've held from you. not out of malice but because of shame, insecurity, pain, etc.
it's also about ego. it's about collaborating with people to make art for yourself and others. and finding peace in letting the art out of your hands and letting it speak for itself.
if you're still reading this review: sorry for rambling! go read Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow. i can't promise that you'll love it like i did BUT i think it will make you feel something.. Sam, and Sadie are flawed characters, like we all are. a little grace goes a long way.
