What it’s about
This is not a romance, but it is about love
Two kids meet in a hospital gaming room in 1987. One is visiting her sister, and the other is recovering from a car crash. The days and months are long there. Their love of video games becomes a shared world — of joy, escape and fierce competition. But all too soon that time is over and fades from view.
When the pair spot each other eight years later in a crowded train station, they are catapulted back to that moment. The spark is immediate, and together they get to work on what they love – making games to delight, challenge and immerse players, finding an intimacy in digital worlds that eludes them in their real lives. Their collaborations make them superstars.
This is the story of the perfect worlds Sadie and Sam build, the imperfect world they live in, and of everything that comes after success: Money. Fame. Duplicity. Tragedy.
Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow takes us on a dazzling imaginative quest as it examines the nature of identity, creativity, disability, failure, the redemptive possibilities in play and, above all, our need to connect: to be loved and to love.
What I thought
Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the eARC in exchange for an honest review.
This book is up there to be one of my favourite books of the year so any book after thing will have some big shoes to fill.
I think that even if it is about gaming there is something for many people because it is predominantly about friendships at the end of the day. Not that the gaming part deterred me as I met my husband in a game shop when he ID’d me.
What I loved was how it shows different kinds of love throughout this story, we have familial love, romantic love, and the love between close friends and we throw a little bit of lust in the mix.
I will definitely be reading this book again
