While I was reading this I was trying to figure out what drew me to it on NetGalley. After reading the blurb again, I realized it sounds like an adorable story, which is right up my alley. Unfortunately, it’s more boring than adorable.
Taking place decades in the future, Carter Cho is a technician at a scientific lab. The book opens with Carter realizing he’s stuck in a 4 day time loop and needing to find a way to break it. He manages to get Mariana, a scientist visiting the lab with her company, to enter it too and he hopes between the two of them they can figure out how to break the cycle.
I felt like I was in a time loop while reading this. While I appreciate Mr. Chen’s idea, it just didn’t work for me. I was expecting a fun and flirty romcom and ended up with a sluggish science fiction. I think someone who has a true love of SciFi would enjoy this better than I did. Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin Trade Publishing for an advanced copy of this. A Quantum Love Story hit the shelves on January 30th.
