In a quiet coastal town, time stands still—but only for one person.Aeva, once a promising psychology student, wakes up on her 22nd birthday... only to find the calendar still says she’s 21. Every mirror reflects the same face, unchanged. Every record of her age—government IDs, medical records, even her body—remains stuck at 21. No one else seems to notice, or they do—and forget.At first, it feels like a dream come true: youth preserved, freedom prolonged. But as the world moves on without her, relationships fade, careers dissolve, and the seasons begin to blur. Even worse, Aeva starts noticing others like her—strangers who flicker in and out of reality, all with one thing in common: being 21… forever.With only a fading notebook of cryptic notes and the memory of a therapist who once warned her about “time fractures,” Aeva embarks on a journey to uncover the reason behind her temporal loop. Each chapter reveals fragments of her past—regrets, suppressed trauma, missed opportunities—until the real question isn’t why she's still 21, but what she’s afraid to grow beyond.
