Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

Good book

It is about friendship and love. Sam and Sadie, two soulmates.

Sam and Sadie have been friends during all their life, and during all their life they have had problems, miscommunication, fights and reconciliation. As someone who has had friends for over 10 years, I appreciate how believable their friendship is. The ability to reconnect seamlessly after months without talking to each other. Knowing someone more than you know yourself. Sharing hopes and weaknesses.

I also loved the absence of any romantic element between Sam and Sadie, showing that man and woman can be friends, and have a beautiful platonic friendship, without ending up together. Because what they have is more special than any relationship. Because they are soulmates. I believe in the concept of soulmates, not in the romantic way. But the fact that there is that one person who is going to “Speak your same language” and understands you and completes you in every way. And once such a connection is found, it becomes unbreakable, Even if you try, you won't lose it.

We follow Sam and Sadie as they become business partners at a young age, and it makes you hope that you can do that with your friends. Leave college and create your own video game. Also love how video games were referenced, the love and passion the protagonists feel towards video games, on how it saves them in different ways.

The only thing I didn't like was that some characters or stories felt incomplete, like, their problems and motivations were introduce, but they were never resolved. The best example I can put is where: SpoilerAlert The friend dies, and we are introduce to this couple who loves Ichigo and the idea of working with the company. But then, the shooting happened and they left some drawings there. So months later Sam finds them and.... nothing happens, that was the plot twist, the most impactful scene. Mark died because he went to that meeting thinking it would be great for the company. And later, those people appear showing that they work there. And that's it, one line. We never see them again, and we don't see the game either, Mark's last wish for the company feels left to the air. Things similar to that happened two more times, where I felt the story was missing.

Overall very good book.
