Boy, what can I say about this book. It tries hard for sci-fi, but I was left feeling empty. The book is all over the place and I just could never get into the rhythm of it. The characters are just blah. They didn't pull me in and I didn't care what happened to them. It's weird, I felt (in the first 25 pages) that this book was going to be a miss. It sometimes happens, you finish a book because you hate to DNF. Not that this was a terrible book, absolutely not... it just didn't move me, grab me, motivate me, or twist a tear out of my eye. There seems to be two stories in this book, 20% of one story & 80% of another. Very odd. It was very middle of the road. It is highly repetitive, very slow at times, added unnecessary characters, and not a BOOM of an ending... as I was expecting. I won't be basing my book selections so highly on YouTube content creators' reviews for a while. This is a blah book at 2.5/5
Blake Crouch strikes again!!
I love how he writes about the complexities of time and human emotions. This book was so trippy and had me thinking what I would do if I could go back to a different point in time, would I rewrite things knowing full well it could change everything for everyone? Also Blake is lowkey a romance writer, like this book may be a sci-fi thriller but the way he writes about romance and the complexities of relationships is so heartwarming and interesting at the same time

Wow! What a fast paced, mind blowing, whirlwind of a book!
The story involves an NYPD detective investigating cases of a neurological condition known as False Memory Syndrome (when a person has vivid memories of multiple versions of their life), and a scientist who is trying to find a way to preserve and allow someone to enter their most precious memories. The two storylines collide in a clusterfuck resulting in a somewhat Groundhog’s Day-like tale of insanity and time travel.
My only complaint is that it was a little too “out there” at times, but I still had a terrific time reading it!! Can’t wait for the film and tv universe!
Trigger warnings for suicides, mention of mass shootings, death, and apocalyptic scenarios.
