Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin
5.0
Ok, I will say I absolutely adore this book as someone who is a gamer and is with a gamer. The references were perfect for me and it was interesting to hear some "insider" information about the whole design/programming side of things though the book didn't overly focus on that.
I feel like this was a more adult version of "Ready Player One" and similarly I will note that if you don't really play video games this book might not resonate with you as much (not to sound pretentious, but just saying as far as personal connection to the story).
This book was a rollercoaster of emotions, but it felt honest in the fact that this is how life and people really are. This story is a very realistic one I feel, and the author did an amazing job telling it even if in the end they don't really become a couple in the normal sense of the word. It was an amazing parallel to have the same begin/end with the game creation situation (I'm a sucker for that) and I felt like the ending of "possibilities" between the characters and having worked through their "trauma" felt very complete.
Overall this was a 5 star read, but I will say that there was a lull near the ending chapters that could have been cut since I felt like it wasn't needed.
