Description

The “masterful, inspiring, and full of heart” (Ali Hazelwood, New York Times bestselling author) Jackie Lau returns with a thoroughly unique love story about a woman reliving the same Friday over and over again—and the intriguing man who can’t quite remember her.

Noelle Tom really shouldn’t have eaten those dumplings at the night market. But the old woman at the stall said they’d give her what she needed most, and what Noelle desperately needed after another long workweek was food.

Except now she’s reliving the same Friday. Every morning her alarm goes off at 6:45, and the Wordle answer is always “happy.” Worst of all, any work she does at her job as an engineer? It’s erased when she wakes up. Monday might never come in this workaholic’s nightmare. Noelle has no idea how being trapped in a time loop is the “thing she needed most,” and a trip to the food stall doesn’t help…because there’s no sign of it.

Then she meets good-looking Cam, who appears in multiple places on her Friday. While the brewery owner seems to have no memory of their encounters, there are signs he might be the key to getting un-stuck. But Noelle can’t figure out how, even when she steps outside of her comfort zone and lives a little. As she grows attached to him, she becomes more worried that she’ll never escape the loop and he’ll never recall her name. And if she does ever get out, can they be together in the “real” world?

Reviews

"I hope to never be stuck in a time loop, but if I were I'd like it to be of Jackie Lau's creation -- full of opportunities to try every dumpling in town, practice negotiating for a raise at work, and develop adorable inside jokes with a cute guy who notices me in every single iteration. Time Loops & Meet Cutes is beyond charming! Jackie Lau takes the time loop premise and plays with it in such a clever, fresh, fun way."
"TIME LOOPS & MEET CUTES is such a clever and intriguing concept with a wonderful romance at its heart. I was rooting for Noelle to find out what she needed most and get her happy ending."
"Fresh, funny, and as delightfully unpredictable as it is romantic, Lau delivers a wonderful rom-com that satisfies on every level."
"A fun contemporary rom-com with a Groundhog Day twist...The author’s fans will be very pleased with this breezy treat."
