This book. WOW! If I'd known that one of its central themes is gaming, I don't think I would have read it, but I'm so glad I didn't know. The friendship between Sam and Sadie had me right from the beginning. I learned an appreciation for gaming and Zevin wove it into the narrative in such a meaningful way. You will feel all the emotions - anger, happiness, frustration, despair and you will love Sam, Sadie, and Marks as much as they love each other. You have to read this book.

Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
-Macbeth

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow is a surprising novel that slayed me towards the end.

It is too soon for this to truly fall under the definition of historical fiction, and yet it's such a great homage to the 90s, I feel like it should count! If somehow you haven't seen this book everywhere, it's a story of three (GR description says two but come on it's definitely three) best friends in college in the 90s who team up to design video games.

Shelves: own-it

This was a beautiful exploration of friendship and the creative process between friends and how complicated that can be. And women, minorities, and disability in gaming. Some gut punches along the way. Loved this, even if it meandered now and then.
