This was a fun and quick science fiction read about Carter Cho, an engineer, who is stuck in a time loop and gets Mariana Pineda, a neuroscientist, into it too!
I read this in one sitting because I was curious as to how this loop began, why is was happening, and how long Carter had been in this loop. I think it did drag a little bit in the middle, but that can be attributed to me wanting answers quicker lol. I enjoyed theromantic subplot between Carter and Mariana , and the ending had me frustrated (poor loop Mariana!!!) , but I loved the new meet cute between non-loop Carter and Mariana
Overall, this was a fun mystery to unravel, and I'd love to see it as a film!

Note to self: read more Mike Chen books.
Seriously, finished it in 2.5 days. Clearly a page-turner! Loved it. Got sucked into the characters, got excited for them, curious with them, sad with them.
Appreciated the subtle Quantum Leap nods. And just learned from the author himself that the Hawke Accelerator is based here in my town. Very cool!

Thank you to Harlequin for the opportunity to review this and thank you to Mike Chen for his writing and creativity!
I really enjoyed this. I'm trying to read more sci fi type work this year. This scratched that itch for me.
Carter and Mariana are in a bit of a repetitive problem. They relive the same 4 days over and over and each time it all ends in a big boom. How can they both piece this together when everything just starts over? Can they?
Thanks to Carter's photographic memory, they make great progress...until Carter has trouble remembering and Mariana is on her own. Can Mariana figure this out? Can she find her way back to Carter?
This book kept me guessing. Right up until the last page, I had no idea if any of this could be fixed. I enjoyed Mariana's and Carter's story and how they taught each other to be better people. Mariana was so goal focused she forgot to see the world around her and Carter reminded her that there's a world to be explored. Mariana encouraged Carter to take control of things he had just accepted as uncontrollable events in his life.
The love story wasn't in your face. It was a nice addition to a mystery that needed to be solved.
There were a few times where I did get annoyed that certain characters just accepted what was going on and divulged all sorts of info but I wasn't too upset about it. I'll take a point off for some actions taken being more ex machina in nature. But I was so eager to see what was going to happen I was pretty forgiving of it.
I cried for Buddy Ed. If you know, you know. Dogs always get to me.
And Maggie was a goofy lil feline companion.
4 out of 5 stars, a great time!
