i want to cry. i want to hug everyone. my faith in humanity is restored. i want to die. i'm in tears. i'm so in love with everyone and everything. i'm more in love with books than i've ever been. i honest to god don't see how i'm supposed to pick up another book after this. i want to create until my hands fall off. life is unfair. life is incredible. i'm losing my mind. no one gets me. sam masur is literally me.

other than that:

i fucking miss marx and i honestly think i grieved him more than sam and sadie did. and here come my only complaints about the book: i wanted more of sam and marx's friendship, i half-wish the romance between marx and sadie hadn't happened, i know the book is focused on sam and sadie but can we please talk more about marx watanabe's beautifully amazing and enormous heart and soul. god i feel like i lost my best friend this is horrendous this book fucking destroyed me

Really enjoyed following the journey of Sam and Sadie's relationship as they navigated life and thought it captured the ebbs and flows of life.

so you’re telling me i’m supposed to be living in a world WITHOUT marx watanabe in it? despicable

in all seriousness, this book touched my soul in a way a book hasn’t done in a while now. i haven’t had my heart ripped out of my chest, splattered on the ground, then somehow nursed back to battered health and stitched up neatly back in my body like that, ever in my life actually. sadie, sam, and marx are the lovable characters who i wish were real but still feel like real human beings i can call up at any moment. gabrielle sets us in worlds that are almost tangible to us, with stakes that are so high that they’re unnaturally real and at the same time genuine to society. 

tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow is a story about love, loss, grief, and the courage to live and fight and keep moving forward. i love the world of games i was set in. i love cambridge and california, places i’ve never been to, but i feel like i can say i have because of gabrielle’s stunning prose. i love how she carefully represents disability, racism, sexism, immigration, and so much more hot button topics with grace. i will keep returning to this book whenever life feels hopeless, because the unfair games trio reminds me that life moves on despite everything, and the hardships are what make life worth living.
