Publisher's Synopsis
The Memory Loop
By T. E. W. Webb
How far would you go to save someone you love-even when fate itself stands in your way?
Helena Cordell's life unravels when a single voicemail shatters her world: her brother Jamie has died in a tragic accident. In the depths of her grief, Helena turns to an illicit experimental drug she bought and hid away months ago-a "memory loop pill" designed to let users relive a specific window of time.
What begins as a desperate quest to save Jamie spirals into a haunting discovery: every time Helena changes the past, fate finds a new, cruel way to intervene. Car accidents, collapses, allergic reactions-death stalks Jamie relentlessly between 10:54 and 11:04 AM. No matter what Helena does, the outcome remains heartbreakingly the same.
With the clock ticking and the pill's effects fading, Helena hunts down Maddox Vale, the mysterious dealer who reveals the brutal truth: the loop was never about altering reality. It was about accepting it.
In a final, heartbreaking act of surrender, Helena stops fighting time and instead chooses to live in it-cherishing her last moments with Jamie before letting him go.
The Memory Loop is a profoundly emotional, time-bending novel about grief, acceptance, and the beauty of memory. Fans of Blake Crouch's Recursion and Taylor Jenkins Reid's Maybe in Another Life will be captivated by T. E. W. Webb's stunning meditation on love, loss, and the moments that shape us forever.
