 I got a book hangover 🙈

I hear a lot of good feedback on bookstagram about a book, and it seldom turns out well (so far). Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow is the one that is really good🤌🏼

The novel is so good that I started annotating it which rarely happens with contemporary literature. Yes, I’m a picky reader.
As a gamer myself, I enjoyed the plot being around games creation in 00s, when I was playing the most of the games mentioned in the book. I wish there was a game like Ichigo to play.

I’m not a fan of sweet romances, so seeing a story about love but under the other angle made me love the book even more. I would be sad if the book had another ending, to be honest.

Sometimes the characters irritated me, and made me question their logic, though most of the time I stood by Sadie. She amazingly showed the world from a female’s side with the glass ceiling reality, building a company in a male-dominant career. I was proud of her strength before one of the events happened in the book that made me detest her. At that tables-turning moment, Sam got my full attention and surprised me after being disappointing for about a half of the book.

I cannot not mention the writing of Gabrielle Zevin. It’s easy to read, visual, and rich. She made references to many games, art, and literature pieces. In one of my next posts I’ll share some books that characters got their inspiration from to create amazing games.
