Everyone told me how mind blowing this book was which I think set me up with higher expectations than I should have had. Don't get me wrong, I loved it. Dark Matter is a great mix of really interesting Sci-Fi, romance, and action that had me on the edge of my seat the whole time. But while it was super twisty, I saw all the twists coming. It didn't hurt the experience for me but my mind wasn't blown.

This was my second Blake Crouch book, and I have to say I love the way his characters are fleshed out and how you can feel the love they have for their families. I don't read a ton of books with male protagonists but I find I really connected to Jason. I will say that he seems super similar to the main character in Upgrade though.

The premise of this book is obviously not unique, but the way it was described and the general world building was super interesting. It reminded me of One by Richard Bach which was one of my favourite books as a kid. I definitely find the concept of a multi-verse and especially one made up of all our choices, super interesting.
