Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow: A novel

I loved this book so much. It has something of Little Life but is more compact, less heartbreaking but great read nonetheless. It is definitely my number one book of the year. I am not into computer games at all but it did not matter somehow. I now give it to all my friends as a present.

If my name was Anna Lee and I read this, I'm hiding out in a bunker the rest of my life.

As a female gamer I really wanted to like this book. But Sadie’s character development falls flat. I wanted to see her succeed in a sexist industry in the 90s at all costs. But she is reliant on her male counterparts for that success. Her dialogue is reduced to one sentence or even one word. It seemed Sadie was incapable of making her own insights and depended on Marx, Sam and even Dov to point it out to her. The fact that she continued her friendship with Dov was infuriating. Not to mention, she had no relationships with other women. Her relationship with her sister was not explored deeply and fell flat.

I think if she would have had a release of emotion with Sam. A dialogue where she truly says what she feels, then I would have rated it better. But instead she just comes off as jealous.

I would have preferred the book a lot more if it were two female friends making a game together. Foils to each other and somehow being successful at all odds even when it was against each other.

this book… felt like a book.

i didn’t love the last third but overall it was good enough to earn 4 stars

Didn't realize this was written by one of my favorite YA authors until after I read the author's note in the back. I still think about [b:Elsewhere|359410|Elsewhere|Gabrielle Zevin|https:i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1442686280l/359410._SX50_.jpg|349532] all the time and this one will probably stick with me just as long. Zevin is probably one of my favorite authors.
