Dark Matter by Blake Crouch
4.0
Spoiler free!
Recommended? Yes!
I really enjoyed this book!! It was definitely something different which I appreciated! I think going into this sci-fi book with my usual fantasy "just go with it" sort of mindset definitely helped me to get into it more. There were a few main elements of this book that I wouldn't have thought would go well together, but Blake Crouch impressively made everything work without detracting from any one element. I do, however, wish this book had ended on a different note. It wasn't a bad ending, but to me it did feel a bit rushed and I would have liked some more closure.
Favorite quote: "No one tells you it’s all about to change, to be taken away. There’s no proximity alert, no indication that you’re standing on the precipice. And maybe that’s what makes tragedy so tragic. Not just what happens, but how it happens: a sucker punch that comes at you out of nowhere, when you’re least expecting it. No time to flinch or brace."
