Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow is such a touching, human story about the ups and downs of friendship. It's been a long time since I've been so deeply captivated by a storyline.

The story follows Sadie and Sam from their childhood friendship through to adulthood. Having met in the hospital, it's needless to say that their relationship hasn't always been easy. As with most long-term friendships, there is an ebb and flow. This becomes especially true in college and their adult lives when they become collaborators. While the center of the plot is on the ups and downs of their friendship/partnership, we also get to know them as individuals. 

There is a lot happening in this book. I can't pretend that I followed every bit word for word when I'm at best a casual gamer. There were parts I didn't understand or plain had no interest in. But the overall story? I loved it. Sam's flashbacks were my favorite hands down. While I didn't particularly love the characters themselves (or rather, I didn't find myself attached to or deeply relating to them), I thoroughly enjoyed their stories and journeys. It's a heavy read, but such a great example of the human condition. The video game nostalgia is fun, too!
