At 11:45 PM I shut the back cover of this book with tears clouding my vision, and two thoughts. One, it was way past my bedtime. Two, I just found my new favorite book. 

This book is Zevin’s most popular when compared to her other novels, and is different from her usual genre. It is far more contemporary than the other new adult books she has written, and her creative writing style serves her well in this new story. Each character in this book serves the story in a way that causes the plot to fit together perfectly. I went into this book knowing next to nothing about it and came out of it gaining way more than I expected. Aside from the heartfelt and honest story, Tomorrow Tomorrow and Tomorrow’s writing is filled with stylistic choices that are becoming increasingly more difficult to come across in the modern formulaic style of novels. Zevin blends the world of video games with the contemporary world to elicit imagery that jumps out of the page. 

The story follows Sam, his childhood friend Sadie, and their college roommate Marx as they embark on an adventure to create a gaming company, Unfair Games. It explores friendships, ambitions, the nature of identity, and the limitless possibilities of human potential. The trajectory of Sadie and Sam’s friendship shows the difficulty of balancing goals with relationships that you value. This is something people often deal with during High School as everyone aims to follow their journey, one that may involve altering relationships you have with people you value. Each character is different in a relatable way that makes it effortless to emphasize with them and the experiences they are involved in. 

Whether you take a computer science class, are a part of the Deerfield e-sports team, casually enjoy Mario Kart, or just appreciate a good story, this book will have you throwing it at a wall and then using it to dry your tears.
