Synopsis

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

Instead, this book offer......more

4.5 rounded up. I’m a fan of Mike Chen’s and this is the 5th book I’ve read of his. I prefer his sci-fi books and usually end up loving those. This book… IS definitely one of those! In a near future, Carter and Mariana find themselves stuck in a four day time-loop where they are living the same four......more

Goodreads review by Denise on October 30, 2023

I have a very high bar for time travel and time loop stories because it is extremely difficult to make the stories compelling without relying on repetition and magic. This one kind of fell flat for me even though I normally like Mike Chen’s writing style. I spent the first half of the book trying to......more

Goodreads review by Sigal on January 15, 2024

The title is a little misleading, because I didn’t find this book to be a love story at all. While there was maybe a sprinkle of romance in it, A Quantum Love Story was primarily a time loop book. So if you’re looking for a romance sci-fi book, this is probably not it. I really enjoyed the story. It......more
