For Grade 10-12 only. They say you can never go home again, and for Persephone Fraser, ever since she made the biggest mistake of her life a decade ago, that has felt too true.

Belly measures her life in summers. Everything good, everything magical happens between the months of June and August. Winters are simply a time to count the weeks until the next summer, a place away from the beach house, away from Susannah, and most importantly, away from Jeremiah and Conrad. They are the boys that Belly has known since her very first summer—they have been her brother figures, her crushes, and everything in between. But one summer, one terrible and wonderful summer, the more everything changes, the more it all ends up just the way it should have been all along.

Two childhood friends. One groundbreaking video game. A lifetime of love, ambition, and heartbreak.

Spanning decades and pixels, Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow is a love story like no other—about friendship, creativity, and the games we play to survive.
