Review
Sam and Sadie, once childhood friends, reunite at Harvard and embark on a journey to success and fame. But as they navigate the cutthroat world of entertainment, they must also confront their own personal struggles and desires. From identity issues to disability challenges, from creative ambitions to the complexities of love, this novel explores the depth and complexity of human connections.
Through the eyes of Sam and Sadie, we see a glimpse into the glamorous world of Hollywood and the harsh realities that come with it. But beyond fame and fortune, this is ultimately a story about the universal desire for love and acceptance. It’s about finding our true selves amidst all the chaos and noise of life.
As readers, we are invited to join in on their journey, to laugh and cry and feel everything in between. Zevin’s writing is both captivating and thought-provoking, making us question our own ideas of success and happiness.

Praise
“Engrossing….Though it contains plenty of nostalgia for the pioneer age of 1990s game design, this isn’t primarily a novel of nerdy insider references….Videogames happen to be the medium by which [Zevin’s characters] best express themselves and share in each other’s life.” —Sam Sacks, The Wall Street Journal

“Woven throughout [Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow] are meditations on originality, appropriation, the similarities between video games and other forms of art, the liberating possibilities of inhabiting a virtual world, and the ways in which platonic love can be deeper and more rewarding—especially in the context of a creative partnership—than romance.”—The New Yorker
“Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow is a celebration of the narratives, in video games and in life, that reinforce just how important connection really is. In following Sam and Sadie’s journey from Massachusetts to California and into the imagined worlds of their games, Zevin writes the most precious kind of love story.”— Annabel Gutterman, Time
“The story of three brilliant kids who found a videogame company, this book is about so much more—friendship, love, loyalty, violence in America and the magic of invented worlds. Gorgeous.”
—Kim Hubbard, People
“Zevin is a great writer who makes you care deeply about her characters….Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow resonated with me for personal reasons, but I think Zevin’s exploration of partnership and collaboration is worth reading no matter who you are. Even if you’re skeptical about reading a book about video games, the subject is a terrific metaphor for human connection.” —Bill Gates
“You don’t have to be a gamer to appreciate the pulsing heart of this best-seller: In a story spanning three decades and references from Oregon Trail to Macbeth, Gabrielle Zevlin has written a modern, definitive story about work, love, and friends for whom you’d do and risk everything.” —Keely Weiss and Halie Lesavage, Harper’s Bazaar
