(REVISION #7) When a na?ve, rambunctious teenager coerces her way into her sibling rival?s singing act in 1963?s England, her sister hates her for it. Succumbing to the seductive excesses of a Rock?n Roll lifestyle, she ends up pregnant, and after a botched illegal abortion, has to re-evaluate her life and make amends to her sister to stop the downward spiral.
My first impression is that this seems like a lot.? I'd expect someone's eyes are going to glaze over before you finish reciting this in an elevator.? But maybe that's just me.

My first impression is that this seems like a lot.? I’d expect someone’s eyes are going to glaze over before you finish reciting this in an elevator.? But maybe that’s just me.
On a quick side note, the way you use “her sibling” and “her sister” in the same sentence seems awkward.
The thing that’s standing out to me as something I’m not sure about… the teenager is being portrayed as naive and rambuctious, and coercing her way into the singing act.? However she gets into the singing act, you’re trying to make it appear like she’s bad for getting in on the act, and therefore the sister is justified to be upset.? And therefore, it’s up to the teenager to “make amends”.
But what I think is… the sister is selfish for expecting to have the stage to herself.? Why should the teenager have to make amends to that self-centered diva?
Out of your logline, the thing that I still get hooked by is mainly what I suggested before… a teenager gets carried away by rock n’ roll and ends up pregnant, then her future hangs in the balance.? The 1963’s England part I know you like, and honestly, I think it’s kind of cool too, so even though I think it’s optional, I wouldn’t blame you for including that still.

I do like it... as in... what the hell happened?? Who reset reality?? It's a good setup.? With groundhog day, there's some hand-wavy magic that makes the character "figure out" how to stop the loop.?

And I see you confirmed that it IS a loop.? That “Happy Death Day” movie is also like this.? ? Also, this book I read recently, Multitude (by Dean Cole), which actually had some crazy physics-based explanation to explain the loop.? But personally, I’d find it refreshing and interesting if it wasn’t “some magical loop”, and there’s a story behind why he got “saved” and why.? Maybe that opens up a plotline rather than the loop being the entire plot.? Just a thought.? Still, there’s no clear goal, just the mystery… if it is a loop, you can say:
After repeatedly dying? on the same spacewalk and each time ending up safe back on earth one week earlier, an astronaut must figure out what is causing the phenomenon and how to break free of it.

It's good, but the last part seems a little ambiguous... I don't see a reason not to replace "those who want him dead" with something more descriptive.? Also, it'd be nice if it was a little more concrete that the "knowing when you die" is "the system" you refer to.? Maybe something like this?: In aRead more

In a world governed by a system that dictates when people will die, a man who famously avoids his fate must escape capture by the system’s enforcers.
