Two of this summer's hottest books owe some of their fandom to alternative forms of media.
The Guardian took a look at the success of Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin, which has overtaken huge names on various UK bestseller lists.
The screen link, in this case, is that its love story features two video game designers; it is, in the author's words, both a coming-of-age story for the characters and the video game industry.
That said, non-gamer fans are quick to note that you don't have to like video games in order to love Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow. (Probably obvious, based on its sales success.)
In the other case, Red, White & Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston is already a phone screen star (based on the adoration it garners from BookTok) and is about to be a streaming star.
The New York Times spoke with actors, directors, fans, and more about why they're so excited about the TV adaptation of Red, White & Royal Blue.
