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.

He calls her name. For a moment, she pretends she hasn't heard him, but then, she turns, and a game begins: a legendary collaboration that will launch them to stardom. These friends, intimates since childhood, borrow money, beg favors, and, before even graduating college, they have created their first blockbuster, Ichigo. Overnight, the world is theirs.
