When Sam Masur and Sadie Green reunite in their junior year of college after six years, they don't know what lies ahead. The legendary collaboration will go on to launch a blockbuster video game, Ichigo, and many more. Their friendship goes through ups and downs as people come and go in their lives. But one thing is for sure, despite what happens, Sam and Sadie will always find a way to forgive each other, at least that's what they promised one another after their first reunion. As success brings fame and joy, loss and deceit follow along. Ultimately, Sam and Sadie's friendship isn't unlike playing a video game; you either weather the storms or die and restart the game.

T&T&T is a beautiful love story of a friendship spanning thirty years. It is not a romance, but the relationship between Sam and Sadie feels romantic, even though they are never lovers in the story. I was wary of an almost 400-page book about a friendship initially, and thought for sure I'd get bored. But surprisingly, Gabrielle Zevin writes with such mastery in implementing different styles and narratives I couldn't put the book down AT ALL. T&T&T also incorporates enlightening ideas, such as how artists view cultural appropriation and the importance of bringing politics into art. Even for someone who doesn't play video games, there is something everyone can reflect upon while reading; possibly my favorite read of the year that manages to exceed the hype.

I always thought great novels aren't ones with perfect characters but those with layers that show the complexities of being human. While reading T&T&T, I can totally see myself in both Sam and Sadies characters, warts and all. And more importantly, this book encourages me to be kinder and more empathetic through the lenses of the two protagonists. I will definitely be thinking about Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, well, tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow.
