Wow. I feel like I’ve just woken up from a two-hour stupor. If ever there was a book that epitomized the oft-used phrase, “unputdownable,” it’s this one.

A timely (wink wink, nudge nudge) parable about the follies of man, Blake Crouch’s 𝑹𝒆𝒄𝒖𝒓𝒔𝒊𝒐𝒏 is a mind-bending journey through spacetime that completely shreds our ideas of reality, forces us to come to terms with its impermanence, and all the while reminds us to savor the here and now—because it might be gone tomorrow. Not an entirely unique message, I know, but its delivery will have you calling everyone you love as soon as you put it down. (Which I did.)
