Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin

From Goodreads

In this exhilarating novel, two friends--often in love, but never lovers--come together as creative partners in the world of video game design, where success brings them fame, joy, tragedy, duplicity, and, ultimately, a kind of immortality.

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 is a dazzling and intricately imagined novel that 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. Yes, it is a love story, but it is not one you have read before.

My thoughts

This book I first became aware of through Twitter, I had read tweets from people all saying great things about it.  I then searched for it on Goodreads and read many great reviews about it. So I reserved it through my local Library and looked forward to being able to collect it to read.  

Sadly, I didn't love it as much as others have done and I am not sure if some of this was down to the previous read having blown my mind or whether it was the book itself.  I found it a well written story, but feel that it could have been a tad shorter.  It told the story of two friends over the years and how their relationship through the good times and bad times coped with all that life had to throw at them.  

To find out how Sam and Sadie deal with the good times and the bad times, you need to grab this story for yourself.
