I think of this as cozy sci-fi more than romance as the love story was secondary to the time loop plot. โCozy sci-fiโ applies because of the budding romance/sparks, personal introspection, endearing pets, and food/cooking elements. I loved when Carter and Mariana were working together, splurging on new cuisines, jetting cross continents, and plotting new paths forward, and I would have loved to see more of that storyline develop in a future Epilogue or bonus chapter(s).
Synopsis:
Mariana is a neuroscientist working at a startup that has discovered a way to relive the past by imprinting vivid memories into the brainโs permanent record. Carter is a foodie with Michelin chef aspirations and a photographic memory. His day job: lab tech at a particle accelerator, where an inevitable accident is about to occur.
When Carter and then Mariana get stuck in the cross-hairs, they find themselves stuck in an infinite time loop, cursed to repeat the 4 days leading up to the explosion that renders the entire facility a pile of rubble. As they try to figure out what went wrong and how to correct it, they will learn more about themselves and each other.
Small gripe: the science aspects were confusing as can be the case with paradox of time loops. I found that if I thought too hard I had questions I couldnโt resolve re: how it all worked.
