A review by mal_reads_books
Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin
Did not finish book. Stopped at 44%.
This book was underwhelming and boring for me. I didn’t care or feel I really connected with the characters. It was frustrating to read how toxic Sam and Sadie were to each other. A lot of it could be solved by better communication.
The narration, while easy to read, also had some issues. Too much tell, not much show. It felt slow and focused too much on the game designing process, in my opinion. The social commentary included in this story felt forced to me. That and the author’s constant use of archaic vocabulary felt pretentious. I felt this book was lacking in depth for what the author was trying to accomplish.

Sadie dates her professor, who has a crass sense of humor and is creepy and disgusting. He and the narrative claims it’s all consensual. Still gross to read. Also there are BDSM references.
