‘Dark Matter' is a mind-bending masterpiece that left me breathless! Jason Dessen's journey through parallel universes is a wild ride, full of twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat.

As Blake Crouch so eloquently puts it, “The universe is a pretty big place. If it's just us, it seems like an awful waste of space.” This quote resonated with me throughout the book, as Jason navigates the vastness of the multiverse.

I was thoroughly invested in Jason's story, but I did feel that Amanda's character deserved more resolution. As she says, “I'm not sure what's more frightening, the possibility that we're alone in the universe or that we're not.” Her story arc was left somewhat open-ended, and I wanted to see her journey come full circle.

I also craved a glimpse into Jason's life after the events of the book. As he says, “I've been given a second chance, and I'm not going to waste it.” An epilogue or a follow-up novel would be amazing to explore how he rebuilds his life and relationships.

Overall, ‘Dark Matter' is a must-read for anyone who loves sci-fi, thrillers, or just plain amazing storytelling. Trust me, you won't regret it!
