it took me two attempts to start this because the beginning was quite slow but once i pushed through the first 50 pages, it became very addictive. the story is raw, heartbreaking, and real. i think i will be thinking about this one for a long time

It's hard to summarize how much I loved this expansive, intricately-written novel. Stellar beyond imagination, Tomorrow is about more than a duo of video game creatives who strike gold -- it's a multi-layered story about a relationship built on shared passions, containing universes within universes to immerse yourself into. Zevin deftly weaves between realities, virtual or otherwise, to show how life can be relentless in its imperfections, but, like video games, can offer infinite opportunities for reconciliation, revival, and reinvention.
