This was fun and fast paced but the writing was a little clunky. I will probably continue to read Blake Crouch’s books, they are definitely fun.

A relentless sci fi thriller! This is the kind of book that becomes the kind of movie Tom Cruise stars in. Loved it!
adventurous mysterious tense fast-paced

The book felt extremely relevant, in a scary way. I rated it a bit lower just because I felt disconnected from most of the characters (might have been the whole point, honestly). The science in Crouch's books is always so interesting to me, and this one wants me to take another genetics class.
