What should you read after Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow?
Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin works on several levels at once, and which book you should read next depends on which of those levels got you. For most readers the closest match is The Art of Fielding by Chad Harbach — the same braid of talent, friendship and quiet catastrophe — five people whose lives keep bending around one shared obsession.
If what stayed with you was making something together, read Station Eleven by Emily St. John Mandel instead: a travelling theatre company keeping art alive after the end of the world. Same conviction that the thing you make together is what survives you. Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid is the other strong option — two people who can only make their best work with each other and can't quite be in a room together. The Sam-and-Sadie dynamic, turned up loud.
