4.5

one of those books that I was wary about because of all the hype, but I'm extremely glad to say that this lived up to expectations.  maybe I had lowered my expectations a bit due to the excessive hype.

this was way more trauma-filled than I was expecting, fyi.

the list of new releases with commercial appeal that have a lot of hype surrounding them that I think live up to their lofty expectations is pretty short: Tomorrow x3, Lessons in Chemistry, and I'm Glad My Mom Died.  all are very solid 4.5/5s from me.

5.0

In a way, Tommorw, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow reminded me of A Little Life, not only in how it was heartbreaking at times, but also reflective and thought-provoking. The character’s traumatic experiences were difficult to read at times, but I believe they served a purpose in the novel, rather than being used for shock. I liked how Sadie and Sam were not always easy to love, but both genuine, complex characters who, despite their love for one another, sometimes misunderstood one in such a realistic way. I see so much potential for this book as a series or film, if done well! This book felt, above all else, real, as though I was offered a glimpse into lives of others.
