Blake Crouch is amazing. I would’ve read this book in one sitting if I could’ve. I was anxious the whole way through, but in the best way. And the ending was the cherry on top.

This was highly enjoyable. The start was a bit slow, and I found myself more interested in Barry’s story rather than Helena’s, but still curious as to how they came together. The main characters were well developed. I enjoyed reading about their separate stories, and also when they were together. Slade’s character I enjoyed reading about too. 

One of the best parts about this book is the author is incredible talented at ending a chapter or a section. I found that I I was eager to continue reading. By the end of book 2, the pace really started to pick up, and there was a lot that happened, but it didn’t feel overwhelming. 

I really like the plot of this book, it was interesting. I haven’t read many time travel books before, or books about memory, so this was a pleasant surprise. The ending of this book was fitting. It worked with the story. After reading this, I’m intrigued to look into more of this author’s work.

Wow! Amazing story! I really enjoyed it. I listened to the audiobook version. After a certain point I didn’t want to stop listening.

This story was very interesting, and not something I would normally read. My thoughts on what was happening in the book shifted so many times in the beginning and I was still surprised when we figure out the mystery behind Recursion.
