When Michael accepts a nondescript job for a nameless London-based company, he finds himself embroiled in a fantastical situation: every time he wakes, time has progressed one single year. At first this seems like a gift; but as the future spirals out of control, and the motives of his titanic employer, Greenwood, prove entangling, he discovers it to be a curse...

This story is terrific.
It's a "Twilight Zone" style story, where something nut-bonkers happens to an ordinary dude. In this case, a guy gets a job where each days he jumps forward in time a whole year.
The story is very specific about what is happening, with sci-fi rules that the author follows. I know that's a weird thing to hear about a time travel story.
An excellent detail is that the guy prepares for his travels in realistic ways. He carries a bottle of water with him. He prepares his house for him to be absent from it for a year and then reappear -- which works out about as well as you can imagine.
It also ramps up the emotional stakes, as the guy dips into the world, then leaps out of it every day. He's not on a heroic quest, which is a surprising choice. He's just living each day until he falls asleep that night.
The story has some deep stuff to say about loneliness, and it's also uplifting in plenty of ways.
In other words: Good stuff. Read it now. Have you started it yet? What about now?
