Time-loop Romance | Crossover appeal

Itβs the morning of Carter Cohenβs 16th birthday, and everythingβs going his way. Heβs psyched and ready to get his driverβs license, his little brotherβs not hogging the bathroom, and, man, something smells good for breakfastβ¦
But when Carter bounds downstairs, Mom bursts into tears. It happened again. Itβs Carterβs 16th birthdayβfor the sixth time. Every time heβs supposed to turn 17, he loops back a year. His memory gets wiped clean, his body ages backwardβthe rest of the world moves on, just not him.
Maggie Spear, on the other hand, has been dreading this day ever since she and Carter started dating. When she spies him in the halls and he doesnβt seem to know her at all, itβs obvious that itβs over between them. She canβt be in a relationship with someone who is just going to forget her again and again. Since Carter doesnβt remember that theyβre together, then itβs probably better if she just pretends that they never were.
Except Carter senses that thereβs more to their story than Maggieβs letting on, and Maggieβs keeping secrets of her ownβbut in the process of trying to let the other go, they find themselves falling in love all over again. With Maggie soon leaving for college and Carterβs birthday quickly coming around again, will they be able to find a forever that isnβt stuck at 16?
