Recursion by Blake Crouch

4.0

False memory syndrome (FMS), an epidemic or something more sinister? That’s what detective Barry Sutton is trying to find out after watching a woman kill herself after telling him she has false memories of another life with a husband and child.. that doesn’t exist. Neuroscientist Helena Smith is trying to help preserve memories and has made it her life mission. Could these two things be related? Helena and Barry must join forces as reality around them crumbles and they’re the only two people who can stop it from happening.

WOW. just WOW. a truly amazing read. Science Fiction isn’t my normal genre but Blake Crouch is the exception to that rule. A little slow start (first 50 or so pages) but then it takes off… and doesn’t slow down. I could not put this book down eager to see how everything unfolded. A book that grabs at your heart strings while also making you truly delve into the realm and think “what if….” Overall a 4.5⭐️ read. Just because it was a little hard to follow in parts (a lot of science talk in sections that I just couldn’t understand lol) and the end was a BIT repetitive but it paid off tremendously. Devoured this in 2 days.
