After eating dumplings at a night market, engineer Noelle Tom is trapped reliving the same Friday??each day beginning at 6:45 with the same Wordle answer and forgotten work??until she encounters brewery owner Cam, whom she suspects might hold the key to breaking the cycle. Original.
"Noelle Tom really shouldn't have eaten those dumplings at the night market. But the old woman at the stall said they'd give her what she needed most, and what Noelle desperately needed after another long workweek was food. Except now she's reliving the same Friday. Every morning her alarm goes off at 6:45, and the Wordle answer is always "happy." Worst of all, any work she does at her job as an engineer? It's erased when she wakes up. Monday might never come in this workaholic's nightmare. Noelle has noidea how being trapped in a time loop is the "thing she needed most," and a trip to the food stall doesn't help... because there's no sign of it. Then she meets good-looking Cam, who appears in multiple places on her Friday. While the brewery owner seemsto have no memory of their encounters, there are signs he might be the key to getting un-stuck. But Noelle can't 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 she'll never escape the loop and he'll never recall her name. And if she does ever get out, can they be together in the "real" world?"--
