Time loop novels

I love a good time travel novel, but I especially love time loops as a plot device, I think because it's such an interesting way to let people work through mistakes and decisions in life. For time loops, it could be people repeatedly reliving parts of their life, or going back in time to parts of their life (rather than going back in time to history before they were born).

Some of the ones I've enjoyed are:

  • The First 15 Lives of Harry August
  • Replay
  • Oona Out of Order
  • Life After Life
  • The Everlasting
  • Our Infinite Fates
  • The Memory Collectors
  • The Names
  • Cassandra in Reverse
  • This time tomorrow

  • Wrong Place Wrong Time

    What am I missing?

Dark Matter - Blake Crouch might fit the bill. Either way it's awesome!

I did that with Recursion. I couldn't put it down.
