This month's read is a tale of two friends-turned business partners, a journey through their life and love for what connected them at the very start, playing games. Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin takes us back to the 90s, where retro games were new and a story of two people was just beginning.

Blurb:

This is the story of Sam and Sadie.

It’s not a romance, but it is about love.

When Sam catches sight of Sadie at a crowded train station one morning he is catapulted straight back to childhood, and the hours they spent immersed in playing games.

Their spark is instantly reignited, and sets off a creative collaboration that will make them superstars. 

It is the 90s, and anything is possible.

What comes next is a decades-long tale of friendship and rivalry, fame and art, betrayal and tragedy, perfect worlds and imperfect ones. And above all, our need to connect: to be loved and to love.
