Recursion by Blake Crouch
5.0

Oh Blake where to begin. You took an insane and hard to follow idea that could easily be a Christopher Nolan blockbuster and turned it into something beautiful. A novel that brilliantly ties together the human emotion and time travel that have a baby that is love. Or something like that. So much more than I could’ve asked for and more emotion than I thought I ever needed. Wow.

“The ache of the memory is gone, but he doesn't begrudge its visitation. He's lived long enough to know that the memory hurt because many years ago, in a dead timeline, he experienced a perfect moment.”

“Life with a cheat code isn't life. Our existence isn't something to be engineered or optimized for the avoidance of pain.
That's what it is to be human— the beauty and the pain, each meaningless without the other.”
