Wow, this book. TORE ME TO SHREDS! 
This book perfectly fit into the category of books that are sort of slice of life books that I LOVE! 
"Remarkably Bright Creatures" by Shelby Van Pelt, "Convenience Store Woman" by Sayaka Murata, "Circe" by Madeline Miller, "The Scent Keeper's Daughter" by Erica Bauermeister
All these books I would understand why someone else would find them boring. But the writing & compelling nature of humans make them favorites of mine

I think that all these subjects are important to the story. I don't think anything was described excessively.

As both a reader and a gamer, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow was everything I hoped for and more. It truly lives up to the hype and deserves every bit of recognition it's received. Gabrielle Zevin’s writing is nothing short of incredible. The way she crafts the characters’ growth over time is mesmerizing—so vivid and nuanced that I could actually see them aging and changing. I felt as though I was right there with them, watching their lives unfold, and that connection made it hard to turn the final page.

The book is filled with memorable quotes and beautiful moments that are both touching and profound. The emotional depth was stunning, and I found myself tearing up multiple times. By the end, I was emotional not because of any specific event, but because I had to say goodbye to characters I had grown with, and that was unexpectedly hard. Zevin’s writing made me feel like I had lived a part of their lives, and it's rare to find a story that captures that so well. This book is truly special, and I can easily imagine it being adapted into a movie or series because it played out so vividly in my mind.

If you're a lover of stories that make you feel deeply and immerse you in another world, this one is a must-read. It left a lasting impact on me, and I’m sure it will for many others too.

Zevin created not only an engrossing book, but a number of intriguing game worlds I'd love to explore. I devoured it, in part to find out if the issues of Sadie and Sam's relationship were ever resolved. They were both perfectly imperfect characters; frustrating, believable and loveable. God I love Marx, he was the most perfect and kind human being. Zevin sometimes uses big words, as I imagine a Harvard/MIT grad might to "prove" themselves as smart and they cleverly interspersed comments from the future/present to build intrigue into how the characters lives develop. This is a book I'm desperate to discuss with friends, I'd thoroughly recommend.
