Sam and Sadie meet in a hospital as children, lose contact, and reconnect in college to make video games together. Their creative partnership spans thirty years of friendship, love, loss, and the games industry — never quite romantic but never just friendship either. Zevin's novel is about creativity, grief, and how we choose to spend the one life we have.
