Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

Zevin is a gifted writer. I know this because she has given us 400+ pages about two video game creators. And I know very few women readers who play video games or care at all about video games- and yet here we are- so many of us loving this book. It spent 48 weeks on the NYTimes Bestseller List and I say again- they are Video Game Makers... now normally I would never, ever pick up a book about such a topic. This time, however, it was recommended by enough people that loved it- women like me- that I knew I needed to read it.

I tell you what it is- it's a triumph about the lives of two young, brilliant friends with lots of baggage. This story tracks their lives- successes, failures, tragedies, loves from age 10 to 40(ish).

I took my time with this one, allowing the story to wash over me. Beautiful, complicated characters that will stay with me for a long time. Fantastic read.
