I don't deal well with physics and its been ages since interstellar. My only time loop novels have been Rachel Lynn Solomon's Past Present Future. With that, this book felt like a cross between Love and Other Words by Emily Henry meets the women in STEM by Ali Hazelwood.
How many times have we what-ifed anything in life? Being female, I believe it is an instrinsic characteristic to overthink and overanalyze and run mutiple threads of possibilities to build idiot proof life plans. When one such strong female, aka Laurel Everett, gets the opportunity to explore an alternate romance with a possible work husband using AI, she doesn't get a chance to back out.
The story follows Laurel through her self-actualization process, discovering what she has been growing into and what she can't grow without - essentially growing into her own self and molding her life and loves, being honest with expectations and no taking things for granted.
Jilly Gagnon walks a fine balance between the introspection of the heroine and the nuances in science which enable the quantum leaps, the supporting cast of characters are well etched and the ending is fulfilling (Especially the epilogue!). Thanks to Netgalley and Random house Publishing Group for sharing the ARC!
