Really struggled reading this book because I wasn’t in the right mental mind space to read something this intense & dark but also because I felt as if I knew where it was going in the beginning. I will say I was surprised by the book as it started to delve deeper into the science (which was super hard to understand ps) and picked up more speed but it did spiral out of control as the climax happened.

I am grateful for the happy ending however. It was intense reading all the other Jasons coming out of the woodwork to basically force Daniela and Charlie to stay with them instead but I liked the ending scene with all of them parting to give them a path. 

I felt the exploration of different realities was only interesting to read when Jason was with Amanda and I wish she had stuck around but hopefully she’s happy somewhere. Also, the whole security craziness of the lab Jason2 came from was never fully explained - why were they just killing everybody?!
