On a bitter-cold day, in the December of his junior year at Harvard, Sam Masur exits a subway car and sees, amid the hordes of people waiting on the platform, Sadie Green. He calls her name. For a moment, she pretends she hasn't heard him, but then, she turns, and a game begins: a legendary collaboration that will launch them to stardom.

Spanning thirty years, from Cambridge, Massachusetts, to Venice Beach, California, and lands in between and far beyond, Gabrielle Zevin's Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow is a dazzling and intricately imagined novel that examines the multifarious nature of identity, disability, failure, the redemptive possibilities in play, and above all, our need to connect: to be loved and to love. Yes, it is a love story, but it is not one you have read before.

Started off very strong and got me invested in Sadie and Sam's friendship. As the story progressed, their company grew, they made more games and got a little annoying? Especially Sadie. As many others have also pointed out, the second half was stretched out and honestly, I didn't particularly care about the new characters introduced past the halfway mark of the story (Ant and Simon-the-random-German-word-generator, for instance). There were arcs that, I believe, the author added to make the characters complex or interesting, but beyond a point, I didn't care about those arcs, either. All in all, a pass for me.

A beautiful story of people doing their best to love another. Just clever enough and just heart-wrenching enough
trying to keep my cool about it but this book fucking destroyed me, it's so good
