The writing is solid, creating a vivid atmosphere, but the plot is a mix of captivating moments and predictability. Characters are well-developed, though some lack depth. Pacing fluctuates, making it a decent but not outstanding read.

I can see how other people would love this one, it was cute, but it isn't my cup of tea. I've read one book where I didn't mind the time loop thing so I thought maybe this would be for me but I think it's just not always for me. Other than that the book was very well written and the romance parts were cute!

When Gemma quite literally crashes into Jack on what she thinks is a random Thursday morning, she is informed by him that they are actually stuck in a "Groundhog Day" loop where they are reliving this particular Thursday over and over and over. The trouble is, only he seems to remember that it's happening.

I was scared at first because I hate reading/watching things where you repeat the same day again and again, but this book didn't put me through that at all. This book is charming and sweet, and it somehow accomplishes being a "one day only" type of story and also having a bit of a slow burn. I love Jack. If he told me that I needed to fall in love with him in one day I would oblige.

This book was written for you if:
1) You liked the movie Palm Springs
2) You love when a man written by a woman has ZERO DOUBTS
3) You want a really cool concept with a side of romcom

I loved this one so much! Thank you for allowing me to read it. I loved the characters and the romance of this book. Definitely will be reading more from this author in the future.

✦Thoughts✦
I really enjoyed her first book, so I was excited about this one. When I quickly realized that we were doing another spin on a movie (Groundhogs Day/50 first dates), I was a little annoyed, I just couldn’t get invested or fall in love with the two main characters at all. I was excited after that first kiss to see what was going to happen, but I just was not feeling them. I also couldn’t get behind Gemma’s anger at her dad about the ex-boyfriend situation. I didn’t find her to be a likeable character which is usually a deal breaker for me. I still pushed through to finish this one because I was curious. Overall, it was cute and tugged at my heart strings at times. But it was just a little too cheesy overall for me with characters I couldn’t get invested in.

This wasn’t worth reading at all. I felt like the story moved way too fast, to the point where it wasn’t realistic or enjoyable at all.

I loved this one! Honestly I love a good no spice romance and this was that! Overalll just a good story I love that it took place over one day and I loved the time loop

I loved this book! The premise is time loop with a twist and I couldn’t put it down while the plot unfolded and the romance developed!

When Gemma crashes into Jack at a coffee shop, it’s the beginning of a fascinating story for her. For Jack, it’s a replay of day he’s lived through many times, in a Groundhog Day type loop. This time, however, Gemma acts a little differently, giving Jack hope. He’s got to make her fall in love with him in one day to break the cycle in which they’re trapped. I don’t want to ruin the rest of the plot so I’ll stop here.

It’s a compelling premise and one that drew me in from the very beginning of the book. I literally couldn’t put this one down, 5 stars.

Thanks to the publisher and NetGalley I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed as in this review are completely my own.

The Deja Glitch by Holly James ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫

I got approved for this on NetGalley ages ago and just finally got around to reading it. This book was completely worth the wait. Gemma and Jack are definitely meant for each other, even if it takes a massive glitch in time to make it work.

Great romance story, minimal spice, and a definite recommend for anyone who likes Groundhog’s Day.

Thanks @netgalley for your patience with me getting around to things 🤣.

This book wasn't for me. I found that there was a lot happening but nothing really happened. I never felt the chemistry between the characters. Overall it was just an ok read.

I’ve never really read a time loop book before and I hadn’t read this author, so I was just excited to try it out. It didn’t disappoint! It is very Groundhog day-ish, but not in a boring way. A cute romance with relatable characters!

At first I was hesitant but then Holly James Wiring pulled me in and I kept going. It was interesting and different.

The Deja Glitch started out strong for me and I loved the first 2/3. Unfortunately it lost me a bit at the end. I love a good time loop story - always up for the next Groundhog Day! Also appreciated that in this one we jump in when it’s already happened for a long time so we just see one day and don’t get the repetition of the day. It had a lot of those fun 90s romcom vibes. However in the last third, it took it all a bit too far for me with some really over the top scenes and declarations when half of the couple literally just met that morning. Thank you to the publisher and Netgalley for the free ebook to review.

Just your average romantic comedy. I liked the characters, I felt they were east to connect to. Thank you @netgalley and to the publisher for allowing me to read this ebook!

I loved this book!! I was a bit hesitant at first because it was very Groundhog Day and 50 First Dates, but was pleasantly surprised that it didn’t get stuck in too much repetition. The book really did move along despite the time loop. The characters were charming and frustrating, and I was rooting for them. I highly recommend this book if you’re looking for a quick, fun, laugh-out-loud romance.

Gemma and Jack meet by chance at a coffee shop and Jack uses the opportunity to try to make Gemma fall in love with him. He wants to break out of a loop and experience The Déjà Glitch repeatedly. The story shows how one decision and person can change someone's life. It made me wish I could experience it too.

Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Group Dutton for the ARC of this book!

An adorable romance! I really love the time loop romances, as long as it doesn't become redundant, and this did a good job with it! Wish there was a little more banter, but otherwise a great time!

Never read a time-loop trope book for, and this one really didn’t disappoint! It was kinda cute, and I loved Jack, our MMC. Gemma, the FMC, wasn’t loved as much by me, but it was still a cute story. It was full of angst, grand gestures, and sweet nothings by both Jack and Gemma to have Jack prove that Gemma is his one true love in the world, but she just doesn’t fully know it because time keeps resetting. One big unbelievable thing for me was how much they got done in one day - did they have more than 24 hours in the day?! Overall, I’d recommend this one. Thanks for the opportunity to read!

Holly James does it again! A little bit of time travel, romance, and comedy! I am sold. This is the first time loop trope that I've read and I thought that it was handled well. I loved Gemma and Jack so much. Gemma's character is so lovely and I was routing for her the entire time. I also loved how Jack jumped right in to trying to figure out how to get them out of the loop and of course making her fall in love with him is the key! Just like Nothing But the Truth, this was such a feel good story to read.

Great premise of the story, but just an ok execution… I think the characters needed more of a slow burn.
