Dark Matter by Blake Crouch
5.0
adventurous challenging dark emotional informative mysterious sad tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No

Continuing to branch out of romance as an avid reader, this was the perfect sci-fi thriller that was so gripping that any spare moment I had, I was reading. Themes of loss, identity exploration, what-ifs and possibilities, survival, grit and family were explored. I have no knowledge of quantum mechanics but I understood the explanation from the book without having to Google anything (woohoo!). I felt hopeless and anxious and so ready for a nice and happy conclusion only a quarter way through. It truly felt like a movie in my head and this story having its own tv show is well-deserved.
