4.5

I listened to the audiobook and the narrator did a fantastic job. 

Blake Crouch has won me over with this book. I will definitely be reading more of his work. It's a bit hard to review this book because you move beyond the synopsis VERY quickly. The first thing that stood out to me was that this is written in the first-person present tense which I don't normally like. And it did take me a while to get used to it but once I did I realized I was glad the author made that choice. It really did feel like I was experiencing the events along with the main character.

There are a few "twists" in the book. The first I saw coming but the second one surprised me. 

Highly recommend for sci-fi fans. 

Content Warning: There are two sex scenes that were pretty easy for me to skip. There's some language but I don't remember it being too bad.
