I LOVED the creepy idea that the time-looped person has some small effect in the world. The day resets... but the food you ate from the grocery store is gone. Now there's no more of that orange-flavored chocolate you like. There's one fewer leek in the garden. You are slowly eating up the world! This is quietly horrific, like you are one of the Stephen King Langoliers and you might eventually consume... everything?

A lovely, literary scifi time loop story (which, incidentally, sparked this idea about a Groundhog Day Codeword. Our heroine just... wakes up in the same day, every day. It's befuddling but not scary. Mysterious but not confusing. She goes about tackling this problem with good grace, and it's a really lovely read. Even if your partner believed you - how many times could you explain your situation, over and over again? Eventually wouldn't it be easier to... not?
