Not sure if this is the right fit?
Consider Replay by Ken Grimwood. Recommended by 6 sources.
“Ken Grimwood spins a compact, character-driven time-loop tale about Jeff Winston reliving adulthood with full memory. it reads as intimate and reflective: scenes return with new moral weight as the protagonist tests wealth, love, and purpose. What works best is its sustained moral thought experiment—what you would change when given do-overs—delivered with wry melancholy rather than spectacle. Limitations include repetitive beats (similar choices resurfacing) and little interest in scientific explanation, so readers expecting action or hard sci‑fi answers will feel let down.”
