It's been five years since the accidental shooting of Marley Bricket, who was only fifteen. Her friends that were there the day she died have reunited when a box is found in Marley's home. The letters inside lead the friends on a scavenger hunt that reopens old memories, wounds, and betrayals, but it also allows them to begin healing. I really enjoyed the writing. I was taken in right from the beginning. It's kind of a deep book and not so much a mystery. It has strong friendships, grief, hope, pain, memories, fun, forgiveness, strength, love. It's just a solid book with believable characters who are all just trying their best. Thank you to Netgalley and Sourcebooks Fire for an ARC. 4/5.

Barry Sutton is a New York City cop. He's learning that memory makes reality as he's investigating False Memory Syndrome - a mysterious affliction that drives its victims mad with memories of a life they never lived. Neuroscientist Helena Smith believes the same thing. It's the reason she’s dedicated her life to creating a technology that will let us preserve our most precious memories. Only Barry and Helena, working together, stand a chance of defeating a force that not only attacks minds but the very fabric of the past. I'm not a big fan of sci-fi, but oh my god Dark Matter was so good! So of course I was excited for this one. Everything was great except for the repetition. I get that it's part of the theme, but it was just slow going and felt like a chore to get through. Overall though, very interesting stuff that not only makes you think but also makes you feel. I can't wait to see where Blake Crouch takes us next! Thank you to Netgalley and Cr
