Time is standing still—but only for Asher.
Every morning, he wakes up to the same Monday, trapped in an endless loop where no one else remembers the reset. No one but him. He isn’t just trapped in the loop—he created it. Because if time never moves forward, nothing ever has to change. His friendships stay intact. His relationship with Saicha is frozen in place. The world remains safe, predictable, unbreakable. Just the way he wants it.
Until Saicha starts to remember.
As she pieces together the truth, she begins to question the world around her—and Asher’s desperate grip on the life he refuses to let go of. And when a mysterious new teacher arrives at school, claiming to understand what’s happening, the cracks in his perfect world start to show. How long can Asher keep the loop intact? And what happens when time finally catches up?
A gripping blend of sci-fi, psychological drama, and romance, The Right Now is an intimate, character-driven story about growing up, moving on, and the moment you can’t hold onto forever.
