I am such a huge fan of magical realism type stories and this one was so lovely and perfect I could cry! Poor Noelle gets thrown into a time loop where a wonderful man she keeps meeting can’t remember her. Cam was so dreamy and we wonder how will Noelle escape the loop and get her happily ever after? Read to see! A lovely story!

My first time loop story and it was so fun! This book gave me a serious craving for dumplings.

Some very valuable life themes in this story were appreciating the little things in life and having a life of joy outside work.

Time Loops & Meet Cutes is a super clever and enjoyable read. Magical realism doesn't usually work for me, but I enjoyed it here. The characters were sympathetic and likeable, and the settings (and food!!) were vividly described. The connection between Noelle and Cam felt special, to the point that I actually felt so sad for them to start from scratch when the day restarted over and over. I devoured this book in a day because I was so curious to see how the story would resolve. (And I've gotta say, I love the cover.)

My only real criticism is that I found the story a little less compelling once they were out of the time loop. I'm not sure why exactly, but it felt like some of the spark between Noelle and Cam was lost when they met again. I also didn't love the writing style in some scenes; the dialogue felt a bit stilted and unnatural at moments.

Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I received an ARC of this from SS Atria Marketing and @netgalley. I LOVED this. I really enjoyed the time loop pieces and how the love story worked out. I thought the main characters were sweet and dorky, and well lovable. If you like time travel romances, pick this up in May. Looking forward to whatever else Jackie Lau has up her sleeve!

Okay I loved this, at first it was a little rushed but after the beginning pace the was perfect, the characters were so likable and we need an Avery POV next please!! Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher and Jackie Lau for this ARC for an honest review.

This was a very quick, sweet read. I would recommend this book for readers looking for a quick pick me up or a vacation read. The writing was very simple and straightforward and the romance was sweet with a bit of spice. I think this will be well-liked by romance readers.

Thank you NetGally for this advanced copy! I thought the premise of this book was very cute and I loved all the first dates that Cam and Noelle got to experience due to the time loop. I feel like the beginning was very rushed, I would have liked more detail about how the time loop started. It was a little silly that it started from dumplings. But I liked the connection with the old lady and Cam. Of course, I am always a sucker for a happy ending

I loved this book from start to finish. The premise was excellent, the writing beautiful and fun! I did get slightly annoyed with the number of repeats, it only added to to the story. A solid 4.5 stars

This was a sweet book that definitely made me think of what I'd do if I were in Noelle's shoes. The time loop storyline was done SO well and I applaud the author for pulling it off. I loved this book!

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. Noelle is stuck in a rut, and by that I mean a time loop. She keeps repeating the same day over and over again. What is it going to take to get off this merry go round?

I thought I was reading a typical “groundhog day” time loop, fall in love story…until I wasn't. What a crazy turn it took, that really made this story unique, and a must read.

Thank you to NetGalley and AtriaBooks for this eARC in exchange for an honest review! It's my first one and I'm so glad that it was Time Loops & Meet Cutes.

Noelle Tom is stuck in a rut until she isn't-- She's stuck in a time loop, where she can discover who she is and what she wants out of life. With fellow time looper Avery, they have to break the loop by figuring out what they need most.

Here's what I liked:
- The characters felt so real. They were real people with real problems and I related so hard. I thought Noelle's character development was shown so well in her interactions with others and her own reactions to being stuck in a time loop without consequences.
- The attention to detail in food. I was SO hungry reading this book because everything just sounded so good.

Here's what I loved:
- The banter was bantering. Even when conversations were repeated, they felt fresh and fun. I couldn't wait to see what would happen next.
- The story! Time loops can become very boring and trite but Lau did a fantastic job of showing growth and change in a setting where things were remaining the same. Noelle and Avery had very real moments of self doubt in the moments where they were choosing to become people they wanted to be.
- The love story <3 Noelle and Cam are adorable. Cam, from moment one, adores Noelle. Had me wondering when is it my turn the whole time.

Here's what I didn't like:
- The writing. It was good writing, but it felt very polished in a way that I think I am just not used to. The way the characters spoke was a touch above casual and sometimes it would pull me out of what I was reading.

Overall, I LOVED this book. It was an adorable page turner that I couldn't put down. I was kicking my feet and giggling, rooting for all the characters, and holding my breath that maybe this time they would get out of the loop. If you read one book this year, it should be this one!

I enjoyed Time Loops and Meet Cutes so much! I wasn't a little nervous about the repetition of the time loop storyline, but this one was done very well. I enjoyed the different point of views and the aspects of friendships. Very fun read!

I received this Advanced Copy in an exchange for an honest review. Thank you NetGalley and Atria Books.

I received this Advanced Copy in an exchange for an honest review. Thank you NetGalley and Atria Books. 3.5 rounded to 4.

Ya'll know I love a good time travel/loop story and this one had some unique features. Noelle is pretty stagnant, no partner, no friends, and a job that doesn't appreciate her. On her way home from work she eats dumplings which magically thrust her into a time look where she's doomed to repeat June 20th again and again.

What I enjoyed about this book is that you spend a lot of time thinking about what you'd do. She has ups and downs, and definitely has some mental battles with herself. The romance is cute and sweet, and her learning to live again, have friends again, is additionally sweet and it makes the readers examine our own lives. I think that people who like deeper romance novels like Emily Henry, may really enjoy this one.

Amazing! fantastic! I was a bit nervous that the story would be very repetitive as it is a time loop story but I was pleasantly surprised. It was great to see Noelle change and develop as a character. The story wrapped up so nicely and it was great to see everything loop back around. I will say I would’ve liked to read about cams dad and what happened ti him but overall the story was well written and executed perfectly.

Time Loops & Meet Cutes was a charming love story that kept me wandering what would happen until the very end. I enjoyed going through the various versions of the main character's life on June 20th to figure out how and when she would continue to meet Cam. The author had quite the task of making each day feel fresh to the reader. At times, Lau achieved this, but at other times, I felt as though the writing was lacking. In particular, I didn't make a strong connection with the other "time looper" while the main character stated she had never had as a close of a friendship as that one. The relationships felt a bit flat to me through the book, and I struggled to continue to read the book - like the main character, I never knew when June 20th was going to end. Once they were out of the time loop, I felt more compelled to finish the story. The ending of the book was extremely redeeming, and would recommend it just for that. Overall, a solid 3-star read for me, mostly because of the premise and the ending.

This was a cute storyline. Kind of different from the usual tropes I’ve read. It was a bit redundant but once it got going it was a good story.

this was a great take of the time loop trope! i honestly might be a fan of time loops now? i loved that the friendship was a big part of this and i liked that we got to see cam's pov occasionally throughout the book- it definitely made me intrigued! the first part was a little repetitive, but i understand that's literally the point. overall, this was a cute story and a reminder to take risks and appreciate the little things in life.

In some ways this was classic Jackie Lau (her writing style, character growth, Toronto setting) but still with a new twist (magical realism, time loop trope with a heavy focus on family and work in addition to love life).

Overall this was a fun, lighthearted read.a 3.5 rounded up.

I did think the first half of the book dragged on a bit. The story was somewhat predictable (obviously give it was a time loop trope) so I found myself wanting to skip ahead through the time loop to get to Noelle actually living her real life again.

Now I’m off to get some dumplings since this story left me wanting them from page 3!

Thank you to Jackie Lau, Atria/Emily Bestler Books, and NetGalley for providing me with an advanced reader copy in exchange for an honest review.

Noell is trapped in a time loop after eating magic dumplings. the story is about her trying to break the time loop. cute story.

Thank you to the publishers and NetGalley for the opportunity to read the ARC of Time Loops Meet Cutes.

Noelle finds herself trapped in a time loop of June 20th after eating magical dumplings. She was promised the dumplings would help her seek or obtain what she most needed. This book followed Noelle‘s attempt to break out of the time loop. This was such a clever take on Groundhog’s Day, and I found myself rooting for Noelle to find all that she’s wanted or deserves.
