Jeff Winston, forty-three, didn't know he was a replayer until he died and woke up twenty-five years younger in his college dorm room; he lived another life. And died again. And lived again and died again—in a continuous twenty-five-year cycle—each time starting from scratch at the age of eighteen to reclaim lost loves, remedy past mistakes, or make a fortune in the stock market. A novel of gripping adventure, romance, and fascinating speculation on the nature of time, Replay asks the question: "What if you could live your life over again?"

Review of 'Replay' on 'Storygraph'
2 stars
It's workable, but uninspired. Part of the problem is how undistinguished the two main characters are -- after living the same lives over and over, they should be incredibly savvy and experienced individuals. They should know themselves inside and out. But they don't. In many ways, they know even less each time around.
If the writer had taken the premise further, this could have been an amazing book. But he doesn't even take it as far as Groundhog Day does.
