A Quantum Love Story

By Mike Chen

Book Overview

A cozy sci-fi novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Star Wars: Brotherhood

The only thing harder than finding someone in a time loop is losing them.

Grieving her best friend's recent death, neuroscientist Mariana Pineda's ready to give up everything to start anew. Even her career--after one last week consulting at a top secret particle accelerator.

Except the strangest thing happens: a man stops her...and claims they've met before. Carter Cho knows who she is, why she's mourning, why she's there. And he needs Mariana to remember everything he's saying.

Because time is about to loop.

In a flash of energy, it's Monday morning. Again. Together, Mariana and Carter enter an inevitable life, four days at a time, over and over, without permanence except for what they share.

But just as they figure out this new life, everything changes. Because Carter's memories of the time loop are slowly disappearing. And their only chance at happiness is breaking out of the loop--forever.

"This unusual and satisfying near-future time-travel adventure fires on all cylinders." --Publishers Weekly

Customer Reviews

Satisfying time travel plot, not a lot real of emotional depth

The plot was intriguing, mostly logical, and keeps your interest. It’s an easy read. The characters are a bit flat, they only have two or three characteristics each (one likes working and tennis, one likes cooking and dislikes his parents) so more depth would have been more satisfying. There is an attempt at the emotions but it doesn’t feel deep enough. There are a couple of powerful lines, but overall it’s an average read with some original ideas.
