I enjoyed this book. I connected with the characters easily. I loved that it followed Gemma as she experienced everything and tried to break the cycle. Everything happening in one day across LA seemed a little unrealistic, but i was easily able to ignore that and route for Gemma and Jack in their love story and connecting with each other. I would recommended this book to others as it was clean and highly enjoyable.

Thank you Holly James, Dutton, and NetGalley for this arc in exchange for my honest review.

I really enjoyed the time loop trope in this book. Its not a trope I am usually drawn to, because it can walk a fine line with being too repetitive. However, I think this book did an excellent job with it. I really enjoyed it and thought it was a really cute!

This was a fun read. I liked how the Groundhog Day plot was presented and I liked reading about the different days and what happened on certain days that had never happened before. There were also sweet moments like Gemma getting the courage to do a big interview and just generally coming out of her shell more.

I'd like to thank Netgalley and PENGUIN GROUP Dutton, Dutton for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A cute retelling of Ground Hog's Day but set in L.A.

Gemma wakes up every day and goes on about her day as usual. Every day for the past five months. Jack wakes up every day reliving the same day and knows it is the same day. He knows Gemma is the key to breaking the loop and is just trying to figure out how and falls in love with her.

I really liked this story. It was pretty unique to me, and the time loop was fun. I love the characters and the chemistry they had with each other. I'm a sucker for romance and this did not disappoint.

I adore time loop stories and The Deja Glitch is my most recent read. But I think, right off the bat, what I enjoyed about The Deja Glitch is that is addresses the unequal positions of Gemma and Jack. How Jack knows her, knows about her, and has all these feelings Gemma has only just begin to see. For Jack it's been so many 'todays' that he has begun to forget yesterday. And for Gemma yesterday is there and only a feeling of déjà vu makes her realize things may not be that simple.

I received a complimentary copy of this book "The Deja Glitch" and all opinions expressed are my own. I kinda like time loop books. This was a quick fun read, great for a summer beach read. I thought overall it was good.

Thank you to Dutton/Penguin Random House and Netgalley for this arc! All thoughts are my own.

A brand new take on the time loop romance and it was a ton of fun.

Gemma wakes up and goes through her normal routine, but as the morning progresses, she can't help but feel a sense of familiarity. It's not until she literally crashes into Jack that she realizes her world is about to be turned upside down. Jack tells her they've been stuck in a time loop for months and while he remembers every day, she has no idea who he is. The two of them set off on a journey to find some answers and maybe fall in love along the way.

I really enjoyed this one and felt like it was such a unique way of writing a time-loop romance. You couldn't help but root for these two to continue to find their way back to each other. There was also a great cast of side characters and it made this book such a fun read. Not only was the romance great, but I also enjoyed the touch of family relationships and personal growth.

For something different but a fun and refreshing read, I highly recommend this book and I can't wait to see what else Holly James comes up with.

The Deja Glitch is very similar to Groundhog Day but with an LA twist. The story is Jack has been stuck in a time loop reliving the same day for 5 months, and Gemma is the object of his affection. Jack has been trying to get Gemma to remember him the whole time, he also seems to be having some memory issues as well. I liked the characters and the way the story developed, liked the descriptions of Los Angeles (particularly the Hollywood Bowl) but I did have lots of questions. It sounded like a lot of love for so few dates they actually had in those 5 months, it seemed like there was a lot of faith needed on her part, and I just wasnt sure i loved it as much as I had hoped. It was enjoyable and a relatively quick read so I do recommend it.

This was such a cute, comedic romance! Based on the summary, I didn’t know what to expect because I had never read a book with this concept before, but I really enjoyed it. The time loop added an interesting element, even though you don’t technically get to see much of it. The characters had great chemistry and even though this can technically be classified as “insta-love,” it didn’t feel that way because of all the build-up.

Thank you to NetGalley & Dutton/Penguin for the ARC.

This is an adorably sweet rom-com style book. I requested it because the description had me thinking of the movie 50 First Dates. That is a pretty accurate description. The story is told from Gemma's POV as the female lead who is a practical, hard-working homebody. She finds herself literally running into a gorgeous but mysterious Jack and has her life turned upside down.

Jack KNOWS Gemma and is fully aware that they are stuck in a time loop and has to convince her that he's not crazy but also that he is in love with her and that may be the key to being able to move forward. He has his work cut out for him since Gemma is jaded and has some trust issues when it comes to love.

This was a quick read and while it was entertaining, I found it to be a little too predictable in some ways. it's a perfect beach/vacation read!

This book was an extremely high anticipated read for me. I finally was able to read it a few nights ago and I really enjoyed it!! I loved it! I recommend everyone read this book!

Time Loop Troupe that reminds me of 51st dates and groundhogs day. Jack had been stuck in the time loop for 3 1/2 months but the time loop in the book is only one day and because of this we didn’t get to see their relationship blossom. I think because the book only covered one day of the time loop it felt long and dragged out. The book was predictable but I enjoyed the characters. Thank you NetGalley for the e-book in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin/Dutton for an e-galley of The Deja Glitch.

I loved this twist on Ground Hogs day - where we meet Gemma going through her normal routine when she literally runs into Jack. And what feels like fate, turns out to be a time loop that Jack has been living in for the past two months. We then embark on Jack and Gemma's journey to break out of the time loop...and fall in love. As Gemma works to wrap her mind around the idea of a time loop, we discover that not everything is as it seems.

Romance? Check. Time Loop? Check. Quick Read? Check.

While this wasn't the best book I ever read, it was a cute romance. This whole book is basically one day, so if you aren't a fan of that then this book might not be for you. I was expecting a little more "Groundhog Day" to be honest. Like, multiple days of our main characters trying to get out of the time loop kind of thing. Otherwise, I had fun with it and found myself rooting for the characters.

Such a cute little romance read. To but it lightly, it was adorable. Yes it had its cheesy moments, but that’s what makes a novel like this entertaining. I shared this novel with a friend and they also thought it was quite cute.

If you like Groundhog Day or 50 First Dates, this book is for you! Holly James is a "new to me author". I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more of her work!

Time loop tropes are ones that can be hit or miss. The Déjà Glitch is most definitely a hit! It's a fast paced, well written story. I was feeling all the feels while reading this book.

Gemma is a complicated character…her heart was broken when her ex had used her only to get to her father who was a well known name in the music industry. Once he got a record deal, he moved onto bigger/better things while she was trying to make her own name in the industry. Because of this, she struggles with her relationship with her father. On top of that her brother is relocating to another country so she feels abandoned by him.

Jack is a screenwriter in Hollywood. He has been living the same day for 147. 147 days of meeting Gemma over & over, getting to know her, slowly (to him) falling in love with her. It is the sweetest thing, only Gemma doesn't realize that it is happening. Until one night at her best friend’s birthday party, Jack decides to kiss her to see if anything changed the next day. Surprisingly, she does vaguely remember him and decides to hear him out. He is convinced that if she were to fall in love with him in a day, the cycle would be broken.

I absolutely love Jack! Gemma at times seems immature/childish especially when it comes to her family. I did enjoy watching Gemma's self-development throughout the book. It was nice to see the possibility of forgiveness when it came to her father. This book has a lot of great side characters- especially Lila and her Aunt.

I read this arc a few months ago and am slowly catching up on my reviews. I would like to thank @netgalley, Penguin Dutton Group & @hellohollyjames for the ARC in exchange for my honest

I think my expectations were too high going into this one. I've read and really loved some time loop books in the last year or so, and was really hoping that The Deja Glitch was going to be one of them, but alas, it isn't.

While I think the story was fun and pulled the reader along nicely, it left me wondering about the development of both the romance and the love interest by the time the book was finished. The romance was supposed to be some epic, universe altering love, but instead I ended up frustrated at the lack of development. If you're going to have someone fall in love within a 24 hour period, your characters have to have chemistry and a <i>really</i> strong relationship. Unfortunately the relationship between Gemma and Jack didn't have either, though I will say I think part of that was because Jack never had any real development as a character either. I can literally tell you 3 things about the man: he's hot, he was unhappy before he found Gemma, and he has all of these facts about her memorized. Seeing the issue here? Cardboard characters can't have complex relationships that seem believable.

I know it sounds like I have a lot of complaints, but I swear, I did actually enjoy this book. Its readability was really nice, and James really went out of her way to give the story a unique spin on the time loop trope. Instead of multiple loops, the story focused on almost one 24 hour period and that was it. The lack of repetition was really interesting (though I do wonder if that's part of why Jack and the romance felt underdeveloped), because it kept the reading in the dark as much as Gemma was, allowing us to watch the story unfold for the first time. The complexity of her character and relationships were really interesting too.

Also, Lila is such a fun secondary character, I would absolutely be interested in reading a spinoff story about her. I loved the friendship between her and Gemma so much!


Overall The Deja Glitch may have fallen short of my expectations, but I had fun reading it. If you're into time loops or just want a romance with a male LI who is super attentive to details, definitely try picking this up! There were some super cute and funny moments too!

(Actual: 3.5⭐, rounded up) This cover is so cute and I'm a sucker for magical realism/time loop shenanigans/etc etc stories, so this one is right up my alley! Given this novel directly references the film "Groundhog Day," it's easy to think you know exactly how this story goes. And while yes, obviously some of the main beats are the same, I was pleasantly surprised that this book subverted those expectations, as well as some of the standard tropes typically associated with these types of stories/this genre. I was reminded a bit of the film "Palm Springs" (with Andy Samberg and Cristin Milioti, and a film I also found to be very fun and fresh) while reading this and so, while I wish we got to see a bit more of the ~timey-wimey~ moments, I still left feeling more than satisfied.

There's always something fun and interesting about that Groundhog Day time Loop trope. The Deja glitch does a wonderful job without overdoing it to the point of ridiculous. The story is told not by the victim of the time Loop Jack but by Gemma who has no idea anything is out of the ordinary except that she keeps getting this feeling that she knows Jack. The Deja Glitch was a cute Hallmark-esque story that anyone looking for an adorable romance should read.

Thank you to #NetGalley and Dutton for providing me an ARC in exchange for my honest review.

Thank you NetGalley and Penguin Group for this ARC.

This was my first "time loop" trope. I thought it was so adorable. This is definitely one of those books you get cozy and read.

That even with everyone in here, he’s looking at you like you’re the only person in the room.


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 mean simple right? They're in a time loop and he just needs to pull a 50 First Dates. Btw, this book totally gives that kind of vibe. He remembers her but she doesn't remember him. Throw in a little Groundhog Day and BAM you have The Deja Glitch
I quickly fell for this book because 50 First Dates is easily one of my favorite RomComs. I mean how romantic is it that he spends each day helping the woman he loves fall in love with him all over again.

“It’s you, Gemma. You are the center of everything. My whole universe has shifted to revolve around you. I’m literally stuck on you and only you. I need you. For more than one reason.”


Now, I did have some issues with Gemma's character, but considering her back story. It makes sense why she's so emotionally immature. But, I also struggled with the entitlement she shares with her best friend Lila. Thats where my 3.5 star rating comes from. I often felt myself skimming through some of their storyline.

Jack, now he is ADORABLE. Considering he has had 5 months of Groundhog Days to grow as a character. I believe that helped him. If we had met him prior to this time loop, I think I would have found him just as annoying.

I highly recommend if you are looking for a light, fluffy read. It has its emotional and tense moments. But nothing too crazy.
