Description

Once in a Timeline is perfect for fans of The Love of My Afterlife and Ashley Poston. This clever and swoony novel follows an aspiring New York lifestyle influencer who finds herself trapped in her own "day in the life" video, alongside a mysterious stranger who must help them both escape before they are lost in the algorithm forever.

Laia Grace is determined to become the New York City lifestyle influencer, leaving her past behind to pursue her dreams. Failure is not an option as she meticulously films her aesthetic routine—capturing the perfect light, the perfect latte, and the perfect life.

However, one morning, her day begins to glitch. Her neighbours flicker, her best friend loops, and Laia realises she is no longer the creator, but the content, trapped inside her last "day in the life" video, doomed to replay endlessly.

Enter Noah, a brooding, unshaven, decidedly unfiltered man who literally crashes into her frame. He has been stuck in Laia's timeline too, desperate to escape. Together, Laia and Noah must outsmart the algorithm that has captured them, uncovering secrets and confronting biases along the way.

As they grow closer, the line between performance and personhood blurs, leading Laia to confront the very thing she has been avoiding all along: herself.
