If this review sounds different from my usual ones it's because I wrote it for school. đ
Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow is one of those books that I would not change a single thing about. The characters are infuriating and frustrating, kind, loving, and annoyingly real. The writing style is beautiful and emotional, it switches between characters and past and present effortlessly. A big problem I have with a lot of literature is platonic love is almost always overlooked. If there is friendship it can feel fake. It either feels fabricated or is just there so you can have a âlovable side characterâ that lacks any real personality. But Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow perfectly crafts a platonic relationship like its own thing and not just something included so an author can tick off a box. That combined with the magical feeling of creativity and video games (something that I usually donât care much for), it is a perfect five out of five stars from me. I would recommend this to people who donât mind if a novel doesnât include a heart pumping, thrilling adventure, but instead prefer the characters in stories. Obviously, if you love video games (especially retro ones) you will love this, but even if you donât still consider it. Based on the topics covered, I would only recommend this to mature readers. All in all, if you love characters that feel real and are well balanced, retro video games, and nonconventional love stories Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow is perfect for you.
