From the best-selling author of The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry: On a bitter-cold day, in the December of his junior year at Harvard, Sam Masur exits a subway car and sees, amid the hordes of people waiting on the platform, Sadie Green. He calls her name. For a moment, she pretends she hasn’t heard him, but then, she turns, and a game begins: a legendary collaboration that will launch them to stardom.
These friends, intimates since childhood, borrow money, beg favors, and, before even graduating college, they have created their first blockbuster, Ichigo. Overnight, the world is theirs. Not even twenty-five years old, Sam and Sadie are brilliant, successful, and rich, but these qualities won’t protect them from their own creative ambitions or the betrayals of their hearts.
Spanning thirty years, from Cambridge, Massachusetts, to Venice Beach, California, and lands in between and far beyond, Gabrielle Zevin’s Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow examines the multifarious nature of identity, disability, failure, the redemptive possibilities in play, and above all, our need to connect: to be loved and to love.
We read Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow for our book club at work. Which was appropriate for many reasons. I enjoyed the relationship between Sam and Sadie. Their ups and downs. I could also relate to Sam's self-consciousness around his foot. Not to mention that I am the same age as Sam and Sadie, there were several moments of nostalgia around the time the book is set in.
Bottom Line - I understand all of the hype surrounding Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow. It is deserving of every good thing said.
