This book is a love letter to gamers everywhere. The characters were complex and flawed, and it made them incredibly lovable and relatable. The story takes turns you don’t expect, but in the end, it is expected, isn’t it? The wild twists and turns of life we never expect but know are bound to surprise us? How people fall out of our lives and promptly back into them? How lovely. Highly recommend.

it took me three? four? months to finish this book and it only added to my existential dread. about a quarter into reading this, i already knew i'd be unhappy about the ending – and i was, but in a good way? i really don't know what to think of this book. i definitely recommend reading it, it is definitely an experience.

Started slow but I liked and even loved it at the end.
Characters are very well written. The book conveys real emotions, which the author also achieved in " " (even though the plot in that book was too scattered).
The plot in Tomorrow was much tighter, plausible, had a good rythm in going back and forth in time as well as in expressing the different perspectives for each character.
The book has a cozy campus / start-up feel and nerdy, good-hearted, but damaged, type of characters. Very atmospheric.
A bit short-sentenced and easy readible, it has a YA-vibe in that respect, but the emotions  were real and even heavy (at times).
The strongest point of the story are the loveable characters,  it is so empathically written and told that this empathy transfers to you as a reader - there is so much love for them in this book. This is Levin's secret as a writer, I guess.

Would recommend, but don´t expect too much of this book. It´s a grower and you have to respect that it's really not that spectacular. It´s a bit of an outsider actually. It´s from that position that the book can surprise you and get to you: in its honesty and authenticity of the storytelling. 
Two things that are also present in other books by Levin, but now with a good plot and timing.

I can’t tell if I liked this book or not. It’s very well-written and the characters are compelling to read, even if I didn’t actually like 2 of the 3 main characters. 

As I continued reading, I I started to not really like Sam or Sadie. I found myself rooting for each of them and then being disappointed in each of them, because I hoped/expected more from them as they grew as people. Marx was my favorite and I was absolutely devastated by the NPC chapter. However, even though I was frustrated by Sam and Sadie, I was compelled by how they were written.
