To break out of a 24-hour time loop, all Jack needs is for Gemma to fall in love with him in a single day. All Gemma needs is to remember him first . . .

I am here to eat my words. I normally hate a time loop trope, but I could not put this book down! I think it was due in part that while they acknowledged the fact that they are in a time loop, the whole book takes place over one day. We don't actually see the time loop happening. I read this one in two sittings! I loved how much Jack pushed Gemma knowing how this day played out over 100 times. I loved the Hollywood aspect of it all and how they were all connected. I enjoyed that Gemma and Jack took such drastic measures to get out of the loop going as far as a physicist and a psychic to get them out of their situation. I also enjoyed the secondary plot of Gemma's family dynamic's. She hates her rockstar dad who tore the family apart, is a little too close to her brother who is trying to move away and goes to her mom for the support in trying to come to terms with all of this. We see her journey to cope with this throughout the book and I enjoyed how it was resolved.

One thing I didn't love was the character Lila, Gemma's best friend. She was somehow the most unsupportive and supportive best friend depending on the hour. I mean she wont pick her up from Jacks house after devastation, but will then run through the airport to live stream Gemma's big grand gesture to win Jack back. She was only present when she benefited from Gemma which made me kinda sad. Even though her character was mid, I was surprised how much I enjoyed this one. 5 Stars!

Thanks to the publisher for the ARC in return for an honest review. This book releases 8/1

The premise of this one is a day that's happening over and over again. Jack has been living the same day over for months and months, and that day always involves Gemma. He's convinced making Gemma fall in love with him will break him out of said loop. The only problem is the redo days are each new to her. This was a quick read and one that was intriguing. I think what I found is I wanted even more of the story. We only got a few of the re-do days, and while the number that Jack had actually lived (140ish) would have been too much, I wanted even more of a window into the story. It was an interesting premise, and I appreciated the other layers of story that were included in the loops. Thanks to NetGalley for the early look at this August 2023 release!

Thank you, Penguin Group Dutton and NetGalley, for the advanced copy of The Deja Glitch.

The Deja Glitch executes the Groundhog Day trope with such ease. I don't like novels that repeat themselves, and this one did not. This was such a cute story and kept me cheering for our couple. This story kept a smile on my face, and it was such a shame it had to end! Fun, fast read for the end of Summer!

Gemma's appears to be living her best life. A great best friend, a great job as a radio producer, and a loving dog. On the other side, she has a strained relationship with her rock legend father and an ex-boyfriend who used her to get close to her father. She's in a dating rut, but all that will soon change when she bumps into Jack at a coffee shop. Unbeknownst to her, this isn't the first time they've met. They've met daily for months! Jack has memory of every Thursday they've been living, and he's convinced that getting Gemma to fall in love with him is the way to get out of the time loop. While Gemma begins to vaguely recollect what's been happening, neither Gemma nor Jack have any idea what's in store for them on this particular day.

This was a cute read and an interesting twist on a time-loop story, but I was disappointed by the lack of on-page looping.

A lot of the fun of time loop stories for me is to see the characters reliving the day in different ways and seeing what kind of wild shenanigans they can get up to when there are no long lasting consequences. Unfortunately, in "The Deja Glitch" all of the looping happens before the book begins (aside from the prologue) and we only get to see one full version of the day. Jack does reveal some details about previous versions, and it just made me wish I’d been able to see more of them!

I really liked Jack and Gemma as characters and I enjoyed seeing their stories play out, but the romance was a little off for me. I usually don’t mind a bit of insta-love or insta-lust in romance books, but this was a bit extreme. I could get on board with Jack being in love with Gemma considering how many times he relived the day and how much he was able to get to know about her, but Gemma only had one day one time. And A LOT happened in that day. Like more than is humanly possible a lot. And Jack wasn’t even there for a good portion of it. Which also made me wish this was a dual POV!

All of the side stories were a lot of fun and I loved how the ending of the time loop was handled. I haven’t seen it done this way before, and it’s the element that usually bothers me the most.

Overall I liked the characters and I had a good time reading it, but some of the details didn’t quite add up.

Gemma’s day has not started off well, and she keeps feeling like she has lived this before. When she and Jack crash into each other at the coffee shop, ruining her favorite shirt, Gemma is even more frustrated. When Jack tells her that he has been stuck in a time loop for over 100 days trying to get her to remember him, she is confused and figures this man must be nuts. As she gives him a chance she realizes that there might be something worth remembering.

While I love a time loop story, what I really loved about this one was that we didn’t live the same day over and over. We heard that Jack had, and he explained what had happened on the other days, but we didn’t have to start at the beginning over and over. I loved Gemma and enjoyed seeing how much she grew over the day she didn’t remember living multiple times. I also loved that Jack never gave up on her remembering him and getting her to give him a chance. I found this one to be really fun and enjoyable!

This was a fun rom com stuck in a time loop.
I did think it was a bit wordy at times. The characters are cute and it would make a good beach read.
Thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for the early copy

This is a fun version of Groundhog Day. In this variation Jack Lincoln is a time-loop relieving the same Thursday. For nearly five months he has been literally running into the same girl. He’s become convinced that they way out of the loop is to have the girl, Gemma Peters fall in love with him.

In this reimagined telling most of the book happen is one day. Jack spends part of the day trying to convince Gemma to be open to the fact they have met, gone to lunch and met his PHD scientist friend many times. And he does know a lot about her that is uniquely specific. Gemma has a few issues of her own. Her last boyfriend used her to get ahead in his music career as her father is industry mogul. That leads to her being more estranged from her father. She is also concerned about her brother getting to LA.

I like that I didn’t have to read about the same day many times, which is more the norm in this type of storyline. Gemma comes off in the beginning as lacking confidence but she has learned her distrust from incidents with her ex and her dad. I like the story arc includes a change and growth in herself and not just Jack fixing things. This is a positive, kissing only, fun story and easy to recommend.

Thank you to Penguin Group Dutton for the ARC via NetGalley and I am leaving a voluntary review. (3.5 Stars)

I loved the ending/last 30% of this book!! This felt like 50 first dates meets John Mars. The first half was maybe a little sci-fi heavy for romance lovers and maybe a little less romance heavy, but once I got through the first 50% and wrapping my head around the time glitch it started to really pick up. So many cute scenes at the end of the book that made me smile!! 3.75 stars!

This was a very cute read! I usually enjoy a time loop and this was no different!

I enjoyed the romance aspect of this book, as well as the growth of the main character. The book really spoke to the main character’s own journey and realizations, which was valuable.

Overall, this was a cute read with some substance. I would recommend this book!

This very romantic story is reminiscent of Groundhog Day and 100 First Dates. Gemma and Jack are stuck reliving the same day and must find a way to break the cycle. It has some great characters that provide wonderful entertainment. It is at times funny and poignant. They have lots of help from family and friends to get them to their happy place.

I enjoy time loop stories and this one did not disappoint. The Deja Glitch is a light, fun and cute read. I liked that this was told in a day instead of taking us through the 5 months of Gemma and Jack meeting over and over. Also, I like how we read this from Gemma’s perspective rather than Jack; Gemma being the one totally off guard not knowing what is going on and Jack who is in the loop and knows exactly that. The two had great chemistry and I was falling more in love with every scene they had together. I also like that Holly didn’t just write about G&J’s relationship. She wrote about her relationship with her best friend, brother, and her father and I think all those parts played a big role in Gemma’s character and we got to see how she developed on her journey throughout the story.

Thank you @netgalley and to the publisher, Penguin Group - Dutton @duttonbooks for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A super cute romance with an enjoyable twist on a time loop! It was interesting to see a time loop through the perspective of the secondary character, and not have to read through the same day over and over again.

This book was super cute. I feel like time loop books can be a little hard to pull off but I really enjoyed this one. It’s pretty low spice so if you are not into that this book is a safe choice. I think my o my complaint is that I think some of the scenes are a little too long and wordy. I still finished it in a day so that wasn’t a huge deterrent but I could see some people getting bored with it.

Solid 3 stars!

Super cute and fun read! Generally not a fan of time-loops due to the repetition but this book manages to skip all that by not having Jack repeat the time loop over and over, it happens off the page. This book has a little bit of everything I love, romance, characters with personal growth and a sassy best friend! Gemma took awhile to grow on me but I appreciated her growth throughout the story. I loved the twist in that the author decided to tell the story from the love interests perspective and not of the person stuck in the time loop - a different take that intrigued me. Would recommend if you're looking for a quick, easy read!

The Deja Glitch-4.75⭐️ 1.5🌶️

✨My Opinion✨

Cozy Fantasy time loop
rom-com
Clean romance
Insta-love
Introverts
Family drama
Miscommunication

There was a dog at the beginning, but it was quickly evident that the author forgot/didn’t think the dog was important to the plot… so we never see him again, which made me sad.

Other than that, I ate this story up! It was so cute! There was drama, personal growth, and fairly clean considering they are stuck in the day they met. It didn’t feel repetitive and the steaks felt high enough with the threat of having to repeat the day of things go downhill.

Thank you NetGalley and Penguin Group Dutton for a advanced readers copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!

I really loved this book! I read a time loop book in the past that I loved and this book lived up to the same standards. The characters are funny, interesting and really lovable. The chapters are pretty captivating and I thought it was an easy book to binge. This book is in third person and almost completely in the female main character's pov so keep that in mind! I'm used to reading first person dual pov so this caught me off guard in the beginning 😭. I thoroughly enjoyed this book though and I would definitely enjoy reading more from this author!

This is not for me. I couldn't get into it. It may be when I was reading it but I couldn't get past the first chapter ever. I tried multiple times

Gemma Peters in a bit of a rut after her ex used her for connections to get a record deal, and she's not interested in dating musicians ever again. She (literally) runs into Jack at a cafe one morning, and the two of them enter a time loop. He realizes they're stuck in their own personal Groundhog Day, but she doesn't.

This is a unique take on the time loop trope, as Gemma is the one we see the story through, and she doesn't realize she's in a time loop. I enjoyed the interactions and eventual chemistry between the two, but Gemma's childishness was a little too much for me.

If you enjoy the time loop trope, you might enjoy this slow burn romance!

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the eARC in exchange for an honest review!

A mix of 50 First Dates and Groundhog Day, Jack, our main love interest is doomed to repeat the same day. He can’t figure out why or how to undo it, but he knows it has something to do with Gemma. The problem is that she doesn’t remember him and has no clue what is happening. This was a very cute story. Easy read, not a whole lot of spice, and a HEA. Cute for those who like simple syrupy sweet style romances.

Gemma runs into a guy at her coffee shop and ruins her blouse. He seems familiar, and he tells her it’s because she’s lived the same day over and over. Jack believes he needs her to fall in love with him in a day to finally end this Groundhog’s Day situation. She doesn’t want to believe him, but he knows things about her he couldn’t guess.

A really fun concept about confronting things that scare you, believing in yourself, and opening yourself up to new possibilities. Thoroughly enjoyed it!
