Sam Masur and Sadie Green meet as preteens in a hospital. They bond playing video games, using an early Nintendo and passing a 20-pound laptop back and forth.
They see each other again in Boston, as one is attending Harvard and the other MIT. And a few years later, they decide to use one summer to try to design a video game together.
The rest is history. That game, Ichigo, is a massive hit, and the two form a company and work together for the next 20 years.
Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow tells the story of Sam and Sadie’s close friendship and their partnership in creating video games. They know each other so well and love each other but are only friends (well, they never have a romantic relationship per se). And being very close, and working together, too, means plenty of ups and downs, successes and joys, misunderstandings and disappointments. The novel is the story of a friendship. It brings in other characters who are good people: supportive, caring and selfless. And readers really get to know them all. Their missteps and careless words seem particularly tragic because we know looking from the outside in that what they have is really special.
I loved this book, just as apparently millions of others! It would have been practically perfect with less vulgarity.
Rated: High. Profanity includes 47 uses of strong language, 20 instances of moderate profanity, about 15 uses of mild language, and about 30 instances of the name of Deity in vain. Sexual content includes plenty of references to sex, with a number of crude references. Several times, one character handcuffs another as part of sex. Sometimes that is done as a sign of control but no sex follows. Violence includes a shooting that kills one person and injures another. It’s an extended scene of peril, and a later scene involves a character having to go back to the location and assess things that need to be cleaned and put back in order. There is occasional recreational drug use.
