tomorrow is fantastic novel. i recently read a book about friendships and intimacy throughout the years and it dissapointed me. this book executed the same idea wonderfully. this book was remarkable for its discussion around the idea of friendships from childhood to mid-life years. i bought this book a few months ago and when i started reading i cpuld not remember the plot. i started blind and i loved it. i dont usually care for multiple perspectives in books but the way it is done is enagaging, and somehow keeps the mystery in characters but still you understand the reasoning behind choices or opinions of each of the characters. the 3 friends in this novel is written beautifully. the ideas of love between side characters, ex-girlfriends, litrrature references, and the three different opinions/views/actions of our main characters are wonderful. i found myself relating to each of the characters.  I am ignorant of macbeth and much of the small literary referebces (i completly missed that the title is a macbeth monologue until someone told me mid-read). i also am passing gamer and rarely play myself. so, in two categories this book doesnt directly relate to me. yet, i dearly enjoyed this book and i look forward to rereading it to better get a sense of the symbols, allusions of this book. i enjoyed how the book talked about immortality of art and the reality of games and such. if you want to you could easily annotate this book like any classic english book or read and enjoy it as a recreational book. i want to memorize quotes from this book!
i would say most of this book is in a 7/8 out of 10 level. its good and about friends and how to manage friends, buisness, and purpose/perception but the chapters leading and NPC chapter itself easily raised it to a 9/10. 

the writing is page-turning quality and the way it builds upon past events is truly tear jerking. i cried over the 3 triangular dots page markings.
