This was absolutely not what I was expecting but I really did enjoy it from the start. I think my discovery of this book came from a recommendation a long time ago so honestly I went into it blind. It was a book where I found myself constantly thinking about it when I wasn’t reading it, which can be rare for me these days. 

It was really unique, I loved the real deep-dive into parallel universes and the huge implications of this, and the thriller aspects wound within it. I didn’t know where we’d go at most points within the story and the concept allowed the author to be really creative, leading to a really interesting read.

Surprisingly I think I’ll be thinking about this one for a while and I would highly recommend, even to those who aren’t normally huge fans of the thriller genre (as I am not usually).
