Summary
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， 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， 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。

This was a good book overall。 Not something I would typically gravitate towards and it did run a bit long， but it was good。 Nothing for me to rave about personally

Sadie Green is a selfish bitch。The book starts to come undone around halfway through。 The events start to become shorter， and some feel forced。 It felt like a couple of new characters were only introduced to the story to draw attention away from the main characters but to also add unnecessary drama。 Which is all Sadie is good for anyways。I get why some people have given the book bad reviews， but I feel they’re being harsh。 It’s not a masterpiece either， though。 And after the way it ended， 4 star Sadie Green is a selfish bitch。The book starts to come undone around halfway through。 The events start to become shorter， and some feel forced。 It felt like a couple of new characters were only introduced to the story to draw attention away from the main characters but to also add unnecessary drama。 Which is all Sadie is good for anyways。I get why some people have given the book bad reviews， but I feel they’re being harsh。 It’s not a masterpiece either， though。 And after the way it ended， 4 stars would’ve been way too generous。 。。。more

This might be the best book I’ve read of 2022 so far。 I’m not kidding; it’s that good。 Sam Masur and Sadie Green are childhood best friends who decide to make a video game together。 The game is an instant hit， and now they’re 22 and rich and famous。 The novel follows their successes， failures， tragedies， and everything in between。 I found myself crying real tears for these characters， yelling at their decisions， and just being so invested in what happens next。 The exploration of Sam’s disability This might be the best book I’ve read of 2022 so far。 I’m not kidding; it’s that good。 Sam Masur and Sadie Green are childhood best friends who decide to make a video game together。 The game is an instant hit， and now they’re 22 and rich and famous。 The novel follows their successes， failures， tragedies， and everything in between。 I found myself crying real tears for these characters， yelling at their decisions， and just being so invested in what happens next。 The exploration of Sam’s disability is beautifully written。 Unfair Games felt like something real。 I can’t say enough good things about this book。 Go pick it up and see for yourself。 。。。more

I LOVE this book and would give it 6 stars if I could！！ Sam meets Sadie in the hospital after his foot is badly crushed in a car accident。 They are kids who love video games， and that love turns into an incredible friendship， and then a business partnership as they create best-seller games。 As the story progresses we see how their video games reflect real life。I wasn't sure if I would relate to this book when I read that it was about gaming。 I thought it was going to be a "young adult" story。 Bu I LOVE this book and would give it 6 stars if I could！！ Sam meets Sadie in the hospital after his foot is badly crushed in a car accident。 They are kids who love video games， and that love turns into an incredible friendship， and then a business partnership as they create best-seller games。 As the story progresses we see how their video games reflect real life。I wasn't sure if I would relate to this book when I read that it was about gaming。 I thought it was going to be a "young adult" story。 But what it is about is love and life， good times and hard times。 It's cerebral and complex。 I could not put the book down - I was totally immersed and in a state of flow with these characters and their games。 LOVEDLOVEDLOVED it！！ Highly recommend！！Thanks to NetGalley for allowing me to read and review Tomorrow， and Tomorow， and Tomorrow。 。。。more

this book is a whole， glorious universe。 i'm so glad i got to live in it for a little while。 i'm deeply impressed with what gabrielle zevin did here （and not just because she made me care about gaming lmao）。 if you enjoyed the "dark quiet death" episode of mythic quest （which is probably a niche reference bc not enough of you watch that show）， you'll love this from start to finish。 this book is a whole， glorious universe。 i'm so glad i got to live in it for a little while。 i'm deeply impressed with what gabrielle zevin did here （and not just because she made me care about gaming lmao）。 if you enjoyed the "dark quiet death" episode of mythic quest （which is probably a niche reference bc not enough of you watch that show）， you'll love this from start to finish。 。。。more

This is absolutely my best read of 2022。 I initially chose it from Book of the Month because I'm still a little over murder mysteries and the description mentioned video game nostalgia。 I'm not that biggest gamer in the world， or even the house I live in， but I do like games （and will kick your ass at Dr。 Mario）。 Even if the reader isn't a gamer， it's a good book， The book isn't about games， it's about people who make video games。The characters are very likable and even relatable。 They make sill This is absolutely my best read of 2022。 I initially chose it from Book of the Month because I'm still a little over murder mysteries and the description mentioned video game nostalgia。 I'm not that biggest gamer in the world， or even the house I live in， but I do like games （and will kick your ass at Dr。 Mario）。 Even if the reader isn't a gamer， it's a good book， The book isn't about games， it's about people who make video games。The characters are very likable and even relatable。 They make silly decisions， they argue， they keep secrets， they're flawed。 They are also loveable。 I can't say who my favorite character is because I am now going to go into how much it sucked that my favorite character died， but also this was around the time I realized this was my best read of the year。The death is tragic。 I usually don't cry reading books like I do watching a television show or movie， but I was runny-nosed crying。 And I continued to at various times after the death。 To me， this makes for a great book。 I enjoy a good cry， whether it's because I'm happy or sad。 If a piece of media makes me cry， I love it （looking at you， The Lion King）。At least one of my cries did happen because of some passages about a deceased person becoming like an AI character in your mind。 I won't get in to what all it says but it made me cry because I was thinking of my cat that died earlier this month。 I absolutely would recommend this book to anyone that just needs something to make them feel。 There are plenty of different feelings this book invokes， positive and negative。 Isn't that what any form of art should do？I don't know。 I think I need more books like this and not the murder mysteries that make me frustrated at the main characters。 。。。more

Thank you to Libro。FM for providing me with an audiobook of Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow。 I loved this one; the romance story was unlike any other but this was also so much more than just a romance。 There was love， loss， talks on racism and serious illnesses and abuse/power imbalances in relationships。 It was so interesting to listen to， 4⭐️

Hard to finish。 Im interested in the characters & even the gaming。 Its just showing a disgusting side of modern oversexualized culture。 Ive read plenty of modern lit。 Im just finding the writing too irritating。 I liked several of the authors books alot。 Not this 1。

I liked this book。。。kinda。 It had very unique characters， but I didn't grow to care about any one of them， and that is important to me。 I think it had to do with my lack of connection with the gaming world， which clearly was a focus of this book。 It made the book seem long and drawn out to me。 The positives: The writing itself was solid and the story was well-developed。 I can see how this book woukd really resonate with certain audiences。 I liked this book。。。kinda。 It had very unique characters， but I didn't grow to care about any one of them， and that is important to me。 I think it had to do with my lack of connection with the gaming world， which clearly was a focus of this book。 It made the book seem long and drawn out to me。 The positives: The writing itself was solid and the story was well-developed。 I can see how this book woukd really resonate with certain audiences。 。。。more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Good characters， engaging story， thoughtful relationships and my world about gaming just got wider。 My one complaint is I can't suggest this for my high school gaming students because of the （IMHO） multiple sex scenes involving bondage that did little to advance the story or understanding of the characters involved。 It's too bad because this is really good on many other levels。 Good characters， engaging story， thoughtful relationships and my world about gaming just got wider。 My one complaint is I can't suggest this for my high school gaming students because of the （IMHO） multiple sex scenes involving bondage that did little to advance the story or understanding of the characters involved。 It's too bad because this is really good on many other levels。 。。。more

This is a story of a boy and a girl who meet and bond at a young age while playing Mario。 But the story begins much further than that， after they’ve gone their own way for a while， and don’t know one another anymore， for some， unknown reason。 It’s also about those people making video games。 More so， actually， about why they make them。 They also get in each other’s way; wether it is a love triangle， quintessential communication problems hinging on insecurities， or life throwing curve balls。It is This is a story of a boy and a girl who meet and bond at a young age while playing Mario。 But the story begins much further than that， after they’ve gone their own way for a while， and don’t know one another anymore， for some， unknown reason。 It’s also about those people making video games。 More so， actually， about why they make them。 They also get in each other’s way; wether it is a love triangle， quintessential communication problems hinging on insecurities， or life throwing curve balls。It is also a book with a much stronger later half than first， in my opinion。 If you’re hoping it’s about the industry or the granularity of making a video game， you will be disappointed。 But it does do a good job of rooting why they make the game into an emotional framework and then complicating it with the messiness of being human， and not white cis male identities。 While the book is weak at its dramatic plot beats， more-or-less， it does use them to its advantage in the later half。 The immensely trite love triangle era germinates。 And because the formula of the current context occurs， then there is backstory of why one of them is the way they are; trauma tied to aforementioned identity component—the fruition does work。 I’m not sure it’s the best way to get there。 But I can look back at my least favourite parts and know why it is there and what it’s doing。For millennial gamers that have that aspect as something tied to their super-identity， like me， I think this will be a cathartic experience。 It manages to replicate the feeling of playing a game that moves you， staying with you forever。 Why X game does this and what it evokes。 What X game means to the creator。 As a tabletop role-playing game designer who grew up wanting to play games like the ones in this book: slightly different， narratively focused and personal games， this really landed for me， ultimately。 In some ways it feels inspired by Halt and Catch Fire。 Or I’m projecting that onto the text， I really don’t know。 In that show， it’s about a trio of characters， just like here—two of whom are best friends—who chart an alternate history of a tech company that never was， and it turns into a game company and an internet company。 But the heart of that show is the characters， and the main plot beats of the show are in this book， as well as the attempt at showing the confluence of many things that go into creative endeavours， business endeavours， and the relationship dynamics between friends。 So， If you’ve watched the best show no one watched， and you’re wondering if this is like that， I feel comfortable saying you would probably like this book。 I haven’t read fiction about this kind of thing before， so I really love it for that。 It’s a bit messy， somewhat inelegant until the final third， but it’s got plenty of heart and does a good job of showing it。 。。。more

What an amazing book。 Great characters and plot。 As a non gamer， I was completely absorbed in this unknown world。 Highly recommend。

Thanks to Libro。FM for letting me review this ARC audiobook。 This is a friendship saga that spans 30 years。 They are not always the best of friends， but they know each other like they know themselves， and love each other， even when they don't like each other。 It's a story of trauma， grief， and video games。 Thanks to Libro。FM for letting me review this ARC audiobook。 This is a friendship saga that spans 30 years。 They are not always the best of friends， but they know each other like they know themselves， and love each other， even when they don't like each other。 It's a story of trauma， grief， and video games。 。。。more

So so SO good。 A new all time favorite。 Incredible read for programmers and non-programmers alike， this book embodies a lot of my hopes for a less esoteric software engineering world， cutting out the jargon and presenting technical accomplishments as accessible， emotional， and relatable。 Loved it！

As a reader and someone who loves video games I couldn’t imagine a better marriage of the two things。 The characters are so real and relatable that you’ll feel like you had been part of their circle and knew them as friends。 As a gamer you’ll be mad that you can’t go play the games they’ve created and at the end of it all you’ll find yourself with a book hangover because you will miss your new friends。 This is one you’ll think about and recommend to your book loving （or game loving） friends。

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers。 To view it， click here。 Really disappointed in this book。 I really liked “The Storied Life of A。J。 Fikry，” so I was excited about this book。 It was too long， dragged on， I ended up hating both of the main characters。 I hated the relationship between Sadie and Dov: a teacher taking advantage of his student， abusive， and they stayed friends？ I didn’t understand the supposed “connection” between Sadie and Sam。 The best part was the very beginning， when they first met。 I couldn’t wait for it to be over。
