This review will be slightly spoilery (though vague and partly mentioned in the synopsis) so read ahead at your own risk.
This was a really interesting read and it has a little bit of everything: science fiction (emphasis on fiction), romance, humor, mystery, grief.
I loved watching Carter and Mariana spend time together in the various loops and the growth of their friendship seemed natural and realistic. But I wasn't really feeling the romance.
Even without the emotional oomph that could have been, it was still a good read. A nice bit of nerdy, quirky escapism.
Thank you Netgalley and Harlequin for an early copy in exchange for my honest review.

There are small hints and you can tell that's where it's heading... maybe. With a little more buildup, and more of a certainty Carter felt the same way, the emotional impact of him not remembering the end of the boat day would have been that much more powerful. And, it would add more credence to what Mariana ultimately decides to do.Even without the emotional oomph that could have been, it was still a good read. A nice bit of nerdy, quirky escapism.
