the first few chapters were slow, but the world building/descriptions were so vivid I felt fully transported into the book, I honestly forgot I was reading a book it was so immersive. 

It was a complex story about friendship and life, how you grow apart and come together: over smaller fights, misunderstandings and just life itself. 

I found myself crying from the second to last section of the book to the end. 

Simultaneously was a coming of age story, rom com and drama. A surprisingly deep story, not expected from the short description provided by StoryGraph-and I loved every second of it.

It really picks up around the midpoint and then I couldn’t put it down, vocabulary was a bit tough but you get used to it. High praise!

This book absolutely lives up to the hype with an empathetic, decades spanning story about friendship, love, ambition, and game design. Suitable for people who game and those who don’t, by the end of this novel you will be enamored with the people who make games.

The faux biography Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin astounds at every possible juncture. Centring a pair of marginalized video game developers and their rise to fame, her book delves deep into the psyche of both major characters. She plots their success at forming their game company Unfair Games, their fights (creative and personal), the consequences of their success, their separation and their reunion. Every character leaps off the page and demands to be a player, not an NPC, and the characters' pasts heavily influence their development and their actions. I have never read a book so enthralling, so personal, or so realistic. I eagerly await more from Zevin and her incredible mind!
