Gabrielle Zevin

A New York Times best-selling novelist, Gabrielle Zevin, weaves a gripping tale in "Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow." With an impressive track record, including being an Amazon.com #1 Book of the Year and a Goodreads Choice Award winner, Zevin's literary prowess is evident. Her intimate knowledge of the gaming industry is palpable throughout the book, creating a narrative that not only entertains but also resonates with authenticity.

"Of my time"

Set over several decades, the novel follows the lives of video game developers Sadie Green and Sam Masur. Their journey, spanning childhood friendships, creative collaborations, and the complexities of life, drew me in from the start. As someone with a light education in industry, the book's themes and vivid descriptions really resonated with me, offering a nostalgic trip through the evolving landscape of the gaming world.

Without cliche, the plot really is a rollercoaster of emotion, starting with an unlikely friendship in a hospital and evolving into a dynamic partnership in the world of video games. Zevin masterfully explores the intricacies of relationships, gender dynamics, and the impact of loss. The characters, especially Sadie and Sam, are brilliantly fleshed out, each carrying their own struggles and triumphs. Watchers of "Facebook" and "Half and Catch Fire" will see similar themes here, where characters toe the line between Passion and Obsession.

Gabrielle Zevin's writing style is intimate, approachable, and downright exciting. The novel skillfully addresses profound themes of life, love, jealousy, death, and grieving without becoming overly somber. What struck me most was the authenticity of the characters—complex, believable, and far from clichés. The author's ability to blend real-world issues with a compelling narrative is a testament to her storytelling prowess.

Unique in its Literary Landscape

"Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow" stands out in the literary world. It defies easy categorisation, making it a refreshing departure from the usual fare. If you're on the lookout for a book that defies conventions and offers a truly unique reading experience, this is it. I'm personally eager to discover more books that match the distinctive charm of Zevin's creation.
