Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin is a stunning novel that explores the complexities of identity, love, ambition, and the human need for connection. The story follows childhood friends, Sam Masur and Sadie Green, who become overnight successes with their first blockbuster creation, Ichigo. However, their success is not enough to protect them from their own creative ambitions or the betrayals of their hearts.
What I loved about this book was how it took me on a journey through 30 years of Sam and Sadie’s lives. The story is intricately woven and spans across different locations, from Cambridge, Massachusetts to Venice Beach, California, and beyond. The characters are relatable and flawed, which makes them all the more real and engaging.
Zevin’s writing style is beautiful, and she has a way of immersing the reader into the story. The book is both heartbreaking and uplifting, and it explores complex themes such as disability, failure, and the redemptive possibilities that come with them. At its core, this book is a love story, but it is not a conventional one. It is a story about the love between friends, family, and partners, and how it shapes our lives.
The only reason I gave this book a 4-star rating instead of a 5-star rating is that there were moments when the pacing felt slow. However, this did not detract from the overall impact of the book.
Overall, I highly recommend Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow to anyone looking for a beautifully written and thought-provoking novel that will stay with them long after they’ve finished reading it.
