I have really conflicted feelings on this. It made me really sad, so I did connect with the characters somehow but I absolutely hate the way it’s written.

A solid four.  I was invested, but I wasn’t emotionally attached to the characters as much as I would’ve liked.

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!

Sadie's grandparents are Holocaust survivors, and Sadie's pre-Unfair game is about Nazi collaborators.

This was not my most favorite book written, but I enjoyed it. The book was well written. The characters are very human, and therefore unlikable at times. The video game narrative woven throughout was cool. I thought the story came around full circle, and tied up not the way I hoped, but in a way I expected based on the characters. Pace was slow.
