The Dark Matter of Natasha by Matthew R. Davis
5.0
All I knew of this book before reading was that it is a dark psychological thriller, not my normal go-to genre.
I must say I could not put it down and read it in one sitting. Now granted it’s not a long book, coming in at 130 pages or so, but it’s still gripping from start to finish.
The story looks at the bleak life of Natasha as seen through the eyes of a young man grappling with hormones, girlfriend troubles, and a rather nomadic up-raising.
Whether it’s the bombshells Natasha drops like they mean nothing or the intimate look at coming of age in unconscionable circumstances, the backstory of Natasha will break your heart. It also gives you many opportunities to ponder how close you or your loved ones might have come to a life like this. It’s easy to imagine a young girl simply beaten down by her life.
This book is not an easy read, but I think it’s one we can all benefit from reading. It is dark, definitely dark, but quite mesmerizing. It’s kind of like driving past an accident, where you can’t help but look. If we all take a tiny bit of understanding from this tale, perhaps we can help someone down the line that is caught in a similar trap.
Please consider this thought-provoking story for your next read.
I received a copy of the book for the tour. This review is my honest, unbiased opinion.
