My review of "Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow" by Gabrielle Zevin on GoodReads

Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is a story about two friends who make video games. The narrative spans their life-long friendship. It's a story about creative work, love, art, tech and video games.

I really enjoyed reading this book. I can tell that the author knows what goes into building software.
She walks the reader through the creative process, not just the design up front, but the debugging, the release schedule, all that, which may seem like boring details but made the story feel real to me.

I love the references to classic literature and Japanese culture. I stopped and looked up "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" and remembered the fact that this work of art was my laptop wallpaper when I was in college.

At times it feels like the characters are stereotypes, I had to take breaks from this book, there were some sad parts, some triggering parts, don't be like me and read this at a busy bus station downtown, you might start crying in public.
