Lauren asked Blake Crouch:

Hi Blake, I wanted to tell you how much I loved Dark Matter! It sits on my Goodreads "best" shelf with very few others. I appreciate that you don't feel like you have to tie your stories up in a nice, neat little bow. I think this restraint is essential in making an author truly great. Do you ever fight the urge to wrap things up too perfectly, or are you naturally inclined to create cliff hanger?

Blake Crouch Thx so much for the kind words, Lauren. And yes! Ending books the right way is probably the hardest part of writing for me. I had at least three potential endings for Recursion and none felt correct b/c they were all too "neat."
