Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow

On a bitterly cold day, in 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, create 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.

Reader Fit: Perfect for readers who enjoy character-driven literary fiction about friendship, creativity, ambition, and the complicated relationships that shape a lifetime.

Why We Carry It: We carry Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow because it explores collaboration, disability, grief, love, and the ways creative work can connect people across time and circumstance. It demonstrates that empathy is often built through the long, imperfect relationships that define our lives.
