A review by chloe_liese
Dark Matter by Blake Crouch
5.0
“It’s a troubling paradox—I have total control, but only to the extent I have control over myself.
My emotions.
My inner storm.
The secret engines that drive me.
If there are infinite worlds, how do I find the one that is uniquely, specifically mine?”
This book expertly interwove modern science’s most convoluted inquiries as well as complex and timeless philosophical questions of existence—what defines us? Is every choice we make one that inextricably shapes us and leaves an alternate “what if” in its wake? This book *flew* for me—gripping suspense, nail-biting close calls, dystopian and post-apocalyptic dreamscapes—and at the heart of it was a beautiful romantic narrative. Daniela and Jason begin the book with the wisp of dissatisfaction in the air around them, but by the end, we see they are ultimately fulfilled and exactly where they want to be as individuals and as a couple, because they chose the life that was authentic to them those 15 years ago. They chose what their heart wanted and what they wanted to shape their lives going forward—each other.
