Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

This has been the best book purchase I've ever made, and I am proud to add it to my list of favorite books. I am feeling so many emotions right now, as the book is complex in many ways. The characters are complex, and I had complex feelings towards them. What I loved most about this book was that I could take the characters for who they were, as completely separate and real people. I didn't need to relate to them, so I wasn't annoyed by their actions even when I thought they should do something differently. Still, that didn't prevent me from emotionally attaching to Sam, Sadie, and especially Marx. I often feel like an NPC too, but that doesn't mean that I'm unimportant to the story.

The book's depiction of a non-fairytale friendship, impacted by the characters' successes and failures in game development, fascinated me. The author expertly showcased how individuals can view the same issue differently, a rarity in books where characters often have one-dimensional traits and connections. The realistic portrayal of complex relationships in Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow stood out to me, making the characters feel genuine and flawed. I was greatly impressed with the book's ability to capture the intricacies of human connections and perception.

The back and forth of Sadie and Sam's friendship reminded me a lot of Normal People by Sally Rooney. I hated Normal People. That book and its characters made me want to scream. A lot. With Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, I got what I so wished for - a difficult but believable relationship, characters with more substance than pretention, and last but not least - quotation marks in dialogues.

To sum up, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow is a brilliant book that came crashing through my emotional walls like a tornado and left a lasting impact on me. It made me cry like no other book has in a long time, and I still find myself thinking about it. The author's handling of multiple character deaths was masterful, and I never felt cheated or manipulated as a reader. Additionally, I appreciated the open ending, even though I usually prefer more closure. Sadie and Sam were complex, multi-layered characters, and a neatly defined ending would have felt artificial. Overall, I highly recommend this book to anyone who enjoys character-driven stories that explore the complexities of human relationships.
