Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin - 3* - My Review

PBT Comments: 366 people have tagged this as "favorites" if you want to read it for the monthly tag. I liked it but didn't love it. Content warning: (view spoiler)[death by terrorism/gun violence (totally unexpected) this is the "twist I refer to in my review) (hide spoiler)]

Intelligent and motivated young people start a tech company, including idea generation, game development, teamwork, and personal interactions. The title brings to mind the idea of playing a video game again and again and dying over and over. It is well-written with complex believable characters. I very much enjoyed the first half, but I think it loses its way toward the end by including an unexpected twist and lots of melodrama. I also think it is too long. The whole Pioneer section could have been cut and not lost anything. Themes include love, loss, commitment, chance, fate, and acceptance. I read this book with a group. My 3-star rating means I liked it. The others in the group enjoyed it even more than I did.
