I don't see Ken Grimwood's Replay mentioned too often. It's an entertaining and emotionally compelling novel about a man who finds himself waking up in a time loop after he dies, with the loop narrowing each cycle. It explores some themes about what you'd do differently, and what you'd lose because you could never recreate some moments or meetings in the right way.
Interesting, makes me think about the movie Groundhog day.
Similar, yeah, but the loop starts out much longer than one day. I think I read somewhere that the book was a big inspiration for the movie.
