They’re perfect for each other – if only time would stop getting in the way.

Lottie is absolutely not looking for a boyfriend. Especially not one called Mike.

But when a walk in the park leads to a meet-cute with a hot, awkward dog dad in very distracting glasses, she’s willing to make an exception. One coffee becomes one date, then another, and suddenly Lottie’s wondering if this sweet, nerdy man might actually be worth risking her peace for.

There’s just one tiny complication: their weekend keeps resetting.

While Lottie and Mike are busy flirting, kissing, and trying not to catch feelings, someone else is messing with time for his own selfish reasons. Which means every time things start to go right, the clock could rewind – and in plenty of versions of the weekend, they don’t even meet.

Now Lottie and Mike are in a race against time, bad luck, and one extremely inconvenient cosmic glitch to make sure this love story actually gets the chance to happen.
