Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin
5.0
I absolutely loved this book. The different narration styles were so interesting and unlike anything else I’d ever read. I loved how the changes in narration reflected the games that Sam and Sadie were making, and at the same time reflected their own experiences and struggles at the time.
As a self proclaimed literary nerd, the references to Macbeth, Emily Dickinson, and The Iliad made me really excited. I love the way that literature was woven into a book about STEM. I think, just like in the games, every individual person will have a different reading and different experience with this book. You might cling to its LGBTQ+ themes or its depiction of disabilities and re read those prominent sections again and again. You might be a computer/video game nerd and find it exciting to read about characters who share your interests. Maybe you dont really care about ancient literature OR video games and you decided to read this just for the hell of it-and you ended up learning a lot.
I’m not sure where i fall on this spectrum, but I can say that reading this book was a beautifully unique experience. I saw a lot of myself in these characters. But at the same time, i knew nothing about their respective worlds and enjoyed learning about them.
I cannot recommend this book enough.
