Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow, by Gabrielle Zevin

I couldn't put this novel down. It's about a group of friends who meet as children and at college and who form a company to develop games. Sam and Sadie meet in the hospital as young teens; Sam is recovering from a car accident and Sadie's sister is undergoing treatment for cancer. They make friends over their mutual love of video games before their friendship is upended over a misunderstanding. They meet again while at college; Sam is studying mathematics at Harvard, and Sadie is studying game design at MIT. Sam's roommate Marx becomes an integral part of their friendship and the three of them embark on a successful venture to design video games. I really love Zevin's writing; she manages to write about online games and their development in a way that is fascinating even for people like me who don't play games at all. Their relationships grow and morph over the years, through many challenges and tragedies. This author also wrote The Storied Life of A.J. Fikry, which I read in 2014 for my book club (same with this book) and reviewed here. I loved that book as well and look forward to what Zevin will bring to us next.
