This was my first Blake Crouch book, and it was pretty good. I liked the story well enough, the characters were were fairly well defined and relatable. The multiverse concept I think was handled well/uniquely, if a little clunky in bits. Far better, in my opinion, to be more heavy handed, than overly complex and alienating. I was totally with the story until the very end, but for a book with stakes this high, a “happy ending” felt really out of place to me. It was too neat. We were dealing with infinite possibilities/potential outcomes and divergences, and to have it all work out felt lackluster.
