Editors' pick Best Literature & Fiction

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER Sam and Sadie—two college friends, often in love, but never lovers—become creative partners in a dazzling and intricately imagined world of video game design, where success brings them fame, joy, tragedy, duplicity, and, ultimately, a kind of immortality. It is a love story, but not one you have heard before.

"Delightful and absorbing." —The New York Times "Utterly brilliant." —John Green

One of the New York Times’s 100 Best Books of the 21st Century One of the Best Books of the Year: The New York Times, Entertainment Weekly, TIME, GoodReads, Oprah Daily

From the best-selling author of The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry: On a bitter-cold day, in the December of his junior year at Harvard, Sam Masur exits a subway car and sees, amid the hordes of people waiting on the platform, Sadie Green. He calls her name. For a moment, she pretends she hasn’t heard him, but then, she turns, and a game begins: a legendary collaboration that will launch them to stardom.

These friends, intimates since childhood, borrow money, beg favors, and, before even graduating college, they have created their first blockbuster, Ichigo. Overnight, the world is theirs. Not even twenty-five years old, Sam and Sadie are brilliant, successful, and rich, but these qualities won’t protect them from their own creative ambitions or the betrayals of their hearts.

Spanning thirty years, from Cambridge, Massachusetts, to Venice Beach, California, and lands in between and far beyond, Gabrielle Zevin’s Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow examines the multifarious nature of identity, disability, failure, the redemptive possibilities in play, and above all, our need to connect: to be loved and to love.

Became an instant favorite upon completion
Apart from being the prettiest book on my shelf (I mean come on, even the spine is beautiful)… it’s totally one of the best books I’ve ever read.It’s so hard to say what it’s about. It’s about two people that played games when they’re kids, and they go on to make games together when they’re older. It’s so much more, though. It’s about life and death, the creative process, how your coworker could possibly be the best you’ve ever had. Art initiating life, life imitating art. Video games, video games, video games.It’s a beautiful, masterfully crafted story. Full of amazing characters that you may not like initially, but I’m positive you’ll grow to love them as I did.I shed one of those grown-man Denzel tears when I read the last sentence. An absolute page turner.

    4.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read!
    Reviewed in the United States on April 7, 2024

    I love a book that takes a topic that doesn't particularly interest me (i.e. gaming) but still manages to make it such an interesting and incredible read. I am far from a "gamer", and while this book mostly revolves around the gaming industry and uses a lot of terminology and talk that I wasn't always able to follow, I was still able to feel engrossed in the story and was just as invested in it. Alongside with gaming, this book also does an amazing job at exploring various friendships, relationships, etc. and seeing how they change over time. I really do enjoy a story that takes place over a period of time and seeing how the characters and their relationships change with them, and this book is an excellent example of that.

    That being said, I feel like there was a portion of the book where my interest level dropped a little (about after the first 1/3 of the book). I feel like the characters became a little stagnant at that point, seemed like there was a bunch of unnecessary drama, and fell a little flat for me. And I was starting to feel very disconnected from the characters. BUT... then the about 3/4 of the way in.... Gabrielle just hits you with the biggest punch to the gut I've gotten from a book in a while. And I was left with my jaw hanging open, and realized just how close to the characters I was in that moment. All feelings of being disconnected were gone, and I was left with my heart on the floor. But seriously, that chapter (Part VII: The NPC: You are flying. - you know the one), was one of the most tragic, beautifully written chapters I've ever read. Whether you enjoyed the book a lot, or none at all, no one can deny how emotionally impactful that chapter was. I'm still reeling from it.

    This was one I listened to on audio, and was definitely a good choice. The narrator was amazing, and did an incredible job at bringing the characters to life. While this book wasn't a knock out 5 stars for me, it was still an amazing read and definitely recommend it to everyone.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I don’t often write reviews, but when I do…
    Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2023

    It has been a long time since a book has left me as mesmerized and energized as this one, and a long time since I’ve felt compelled to write a book review.

    Which is to say , Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow is that kind of a book , a fantastic book. A book that leaves you wanting to do something , to be someone , just beyond the horizon of your own predictability.

    It is the sort of book that lingers on your lap for some time after you’ve turned the last page, makes you want to clear your morning schedule after you’ve been up all night reading, just to spend a little more time luxuriating in Zevin’s infinite world of possibility. Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow is the kind of book that makes zealots of complacent readers and idolaters of aspiring and established writers alike.

    I will admit, I was in no way drawn to the premise of this book. I have no interest in gaming. Or programming. In fact , this 400 page novel, ostensibly about three Harvard and MIT educated video game programmers, sat on my nightstand looking pretty for about a month. And it would have ended there except I’m an aesthete by nature, and it really was pretty. So it could not go ignored for too long. The cover is a work of art in and of itself. Psychedelic Tomorrows appear like scratchboard art etchings, suspended against a “storm tossed sea”- the iconic Great Wave off Kanagawa originally fashioned in 1831 by Japanese artist Katsushika Hokusai.

    And while they say you shouldn’t judge a book by it’s cover , in this case , you would be wise to do just that. TTT is not just a book about gaming. Yes it’s the story of three programmers coming together to build something that will come to define a generation. But it’s more than that. It’s a book about coming together to build something that is more than the sum of its parts. A book about friendship, ambition, disability, and triumph and all the different kinds of love you will inevitability experience along the way.

    Zevin’s world is a physical world but also a digital one, a world of infinite possibilities. A where players can be reborn and cheat death a thousand times. A place where disability won’t impede your ability to soar to new horizons. Or to craft those horizons.

    Her characters are unforgettable. All MIT and Harvard prodigies in their own rights, we have Sam, a disabled Jewish-Korean orphan, Sadie, an Ashkenazi California native and Sam’s childhood best friend, business partner and fellow gamer. And there’s Marx, a Korean Zac Morris of sorts whose effortless beauty, generosity, and charisma often obscure the fact that he is as brilliant and creative as his quirkier tech-centric peers. In the 400 beautifully written pages of Zevin’s latest novel , These characters come together to form one of the strangest and most beautiful love stories you’ll come across in modern day literature. Friendship,
    as it turns out —-may be the greatest love of all.

    I won’t say more . At a certain point . You have to let the work speak for itself .

    It took a while for me to get into this book, but once I did, I could not put it down. I did find several of the main characters to be pretty non-redeeming but that didn’t keep me from being interested in their stories. The author was able to take us back and forth and time in a very clean way, and I appreciate the detail and the nod to the 90s throughout the book. There was a completely shocking event and that really threw me for a loop because I wasn’t expecting that type of situation based on what had occurred so far, but even that was rendered beautifully. An excellent novel with nods to the literary world throughout that warmed my book is heart. Highly recommend.

    シェイクスピアの名作マクベス、そこでは魔女が住み、不気味な予言をし、死霊が彷徨い、短剣が勝手に人を刺し、何回洗っても死人の血が落ちず、夢と現実の区別が無くなり、そして山が動く。そこは現実世界か別次元の世界か？あるいは非現実のゲームの世界か？そう著者、ガブリエル・ゼヴィン（ユダヤ、ロシア、韓国系アメリカ人）、はマクベスをゲームの世界と受け取り、本書も現実と非現実が折り重なったゲームの世界をマクベス同様、小説として表したのです。つもり本著は小説で有り、ゲームでも有るのです。読書はゲームの世界に紛れ込まされ、肉親の愛情と別れ、恋人同士の愛憎、コンプレックスと優越感、突然の悲劇と避けられない悲劇を経験し、そして全てが元に戻るリセット。タイトル、Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow （マクベスが敵に追い詰められた時の独白の一節）が本書をひも解くキーワードで有り最強ウエッポン。全く新しい分野の超推薦作。
