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.
Never has a book made me feel so nostalgic for all the computer games I played growing up. The book is littered with references to games, both real and the ones created by book's characters, which tell a tale of friendship.

Este libro me ha hecho sentir como cuando sientes con alguien una intimidad instantánea. En un chat, en un viaje en autobús... das por casualidad con alguien con quien puedes conversar como si os conocierais de toda la vida. Mejor y más intensamente que si os conocierais.
Unos personajes desagradables a ratos pero siempre creíbles y humanos. Hay fealdad y desgracia pero sin regodeo. Una narración inteligente, que juega contigo, y una traducción superior a la media, que hace frente a bastantes complicaciones con elegancia. Maravilloso.
