Neverday

More about the book

Karl Lybeck has been trapped in a never-ending loop, reliving the same day for what feels like a millennium. He has forgotten his life before this cycle, including the faces of his parents and his profession. The only remnant of his identity is his name on an Oregon State driver's license. Just when he believes he is alone in this eternal nightmare, a woman named January appears in his backyard, fleeing from armed pursuers claiming to be police. Unbeknownst to her, she too is ensnared in the same time loop. As they connect, Karl learns that he and January are not alone; most of society is caught in this repetitive cycle. While he isolated himself in his suburban home, the world outside has adapted to this bizarre existence, implementing new laws and a memory-based currency. Together, Karl and January join a therapy group with others struggling to cope, including hospital patients with incurable illnesses and parents unable to watch their children grow. However, the governing authorities seem oblivious to the significance of the "neverday," a time that exists only for those who stay awake all night to escape repetition. With newfound allies, Karl and January venture into the neverday, seeking answers that could unravel the very foundation of their society.
