I feel like I’ve been running for a long time, It’s very exhausting and overwhelming and the last part annoyed me (In a good way)
Some complains that it was repetitive but sorry guys, that’s the way it should be.
I loved Dark matter more, but Recursion is still amazing and highly recommend.

False memory syndrome (FMS), an epidemic or something more sinister? That’s what detective Barry Sutton is trying to find out after watching a woman kill herself after telling him she has false memories of another life with a husband and child.. that doesn’t exist. Neuroscientist Helena Smith is trying to help preserve memories and has made it her life mission. Could these two things be related? Helena and Barry must join forces as reality around them crumbles and they’re the only two people who can stop it from happening.
WOW. just WOW. a truly amazing read. Science Fiction isn’t my normal genre but Blake Crouch is the exception to that rule. A little slow start (first 50 or so pages) but then it takes off… and doesn’t slow down. I could not put this book down eager to see how everything unfolded. A book that grabs at your heart strings while also making you truly delve into the realm and think “what if….” Overall a 4.5⭐️ read. Just because it was a little hard to follow in parts (a lot of science talk in sections that I just couldn’t understand lol) and the end was a BIT repetitive but it paid off tremendously. Devoured this in 2 days.

I need to reread this, so good thing I bought my own copy of it.
Blake Crouch is a master of sci-fi, memory, and time (travel). I've read this and Dark Matter, and this one might edge out slightly. There is a lot happening, which is why I want to re-read it already.
Major spoiler, so don't read if you haven't read Recursion yet:For instance, it took me a while to figure out that final travel and how he didn't meet Ann when he had met her 2 days before November 4 only to remember that's a new timeline and not the original. There's a lot to keep track of for sure!
