The âmasterful, inspiring, and full of heartâ (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 againâand the intriguing man who canât quite remember her.
Noelle Tom really shouldnât have eaten those dumplings at the night market. But the old woman at the stall said theyâd give her what she needed most, and what Noelle desperately needed after another long workweek was food.
Except now sheâs reliving the same Friday. Every morning her alarm goes off at 6:45, and the Wordle answer is always âhappy.â Worst of all, any work she does at her job as an engineer? Itâs erased when she wakes up. Monday might never come in this workaholicâs nightmare. Noelle has no idea how being trapped in a time loop is the âthing she needed most,â and a trip to the food stall doesnât helpâŚbecause thereâs 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 canât 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 sheâll never escape the loop and heâll never recall her name. And if she does ever get out, can they be together in the ârealâ world?
