In Time Loops & Meet Cutes (& magical dumplings) Noelle ends up in a time loop after a late night dinner of night market dumplings. As an engineer, she takes a scientific approach to break her time loop and joins forces with Avery, a woman changed from her previous observations of the same market. Realizing they’re experiencing the same June 20th together, they come to rely on each other. After dozens of one sided dates, Noelle starts falling for Cam. While Avery is stuck breaking up with her inattentive boyfriend. Eating their way through every dumpling in the Toronto area, maybe there’s a larger mystery at play.

This was so fun and I loved the unique take on the time loop theme. The long journey of growth for Noelle after every failed attempt to break the loop was interesting and captivating. I enjoyed her interactions with Cam and the way he knew her subconsciously, their connection and chemistry was unmistakable and always gave me butterflies.

This is a story about taking risks and connecting with the people you care about, but I also loved the friendship Noelle and Avery created after such a traumatic experience. It wasn’t all fun but the knowledge of a reset had both ladies taking a gamble at what could happen if they went out of their comfort zone.

I ate up this story – pun very much intended. 4.5⭐️
