PREMI GOODREADS 2022MILLOR NOVEL·LA DE L'ANY PER A LA REVISTA TIMEDes de ben petits, en Sam i la Sadie comparteixen l'afició pels videojocs. Allà hi experimenten la llibertat i l'alegria que els manca al món real, on senten que no acaben d'encaixar. Quan es retroben anys més tard, decideixen apostar pels seus somnis i viure de la creació d'aquests universos fantàstics i imaginaris sense preveure, però, que ben aviat s'enfrontaran a un èxit imprevist i imparable que posarà en dubte la naturalesa de la seva relació. Aquesta és la història dels mons que construeixen els dos amics, perfectes però irreals, i també de la impossibilitat per adaptar-se a la ferocitat del que comporta el triomf: els diners, la fama, les identitats qüestionades i la tragèdia. Demà, i demà, i demà és un relat sobre la nostra necessitat de connectar, d'estimar i de ser estimats. Una obra commovedora sobre els límits de l'amistat i l'amor, i una oda al refugi que ens ofereix la imaginació.

Sí, es una historia de amor, pero única en su especie.
