Time Loops & Meet Cutes

by Jackie Lau

Noelle Tom is having a very specific, very frustrating Friday: the same one, over and over again. After a mysterious dumpling encounter, she finds herself trapped in a time loop, her engineering work erased each morning, and the Wordle answer forever 'happy.' It's a workaholic's nightmare, but also a quirky opportunity for self-discovery. As she navigates her unchanging day, Noelle keeps running into Cam, a charming brewery owner who never remembers their previous encounters. Reading this book feels like unwrapping a delightful puzzle, full of laugh-out-loud moments and a surprisingly tender exploration of what it means to truly live and connect. It's for anyone who loves a clever romantic premise, a heroine growing into herself, and a sweet, hopeful romance that beats the odds.
