Welcome to Litsy!

The narrator works for Dare to Know, a company who pioneered a technology to predict anyone's exact time of death. Employees are forbidden to look up their own death date. When he does though, it says he died 20 minutes ago. I enjoyed it but maybe I didn't quite get the allegories and it got more and more surreal as it went on...

This sounded so intriguing: our MC works for a company that will sell you the exact date/time of your death w 100% accuracy. His own life has been going downhill for a while so after a car accident he calculates his own death and finds it was supposed to be 26 minutes ago!
The story reads like a fever dream. It's just plain weird. I will say the author ties together all the people and bizarre occurrences at the end but this wasn't my cup of tea.

This is a trippy book. 🤔 It kind of opens your mind, turns it inside out, and hands it back to you. Elements of science and philosophy.

I got this early release finished copy by chance. It has serious Blake Crouch vibes. The beginning was amazing & there is a lot of suspense. The backstory is told in flashbacks & memories of the main character. The ending was a bit off-the-wall. Bonus! It is set in Illinois, which is where I live. A lot of references to Bloomington, Illinois which is a few miles south of me. I always like books set where I can picture it intimately.⭐⭐⭐⭐

As I sit in Bloomington with my girls at dance class. 😂

Putting my #bookspinbingo on hold to pick up this early release. I'm so freaking excited to start it! I think it releases 9/7. Is this book on anyone else's radar?
