The Déjà Glitch
The Déjà Glitch: A Novel | Holly James
9 posts | 8 read | 4 to read
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 . . . Gemma Peters is doing fine. She’s making a name for herself in the L.A. music biz as a radio producer. She’s got a ride-or-die best friend in Lila, and she gets to come home to Rex, her loving Labrador, every night. But ever since her rock star ex-boyfriend used her to get a record deal from her rock legend dad, she’s made a “no musicians” rule when it comes to dating that’s becoming more like a “no dating” rule, period. So, when Gemma crashes (literally) into Jack one Thursday morning, at first she feels like fate might finally be doing her a favor. After all this guy is cute and, wait, is she imagining it, or is he staring a little too deeply into her eyes? And how does he know her name? Even harder to explain is the funny feeling of déjà vu she gets every time she looks at him. It’s not at all like Gemma to kiss a man and forget him completely, so then how can she explain the dreamlike memory of his lips on hers? The truth is this is no ordinary Thursday. Not for them. In fact, they’ve lived this day over and over for months. And while Gemma has been totally oblivious to the time loop, Jack has been agonizingly aware of every single iteration. Luckily, Jack has a theory to bring his own personal Groundhog Day to an end. And it’s simple. Before the day is over, he just has to get Gemma to fall in love with him.

My rating may be generous. Parts of this book are cute but the ending, in which Gemma narrates everything that we *just read,* unintentionally mimicking the repetition of the relived time loop the characters are stuck in, was the least of the book‘s problems. Some quotes:

“He softly laughed†(76)
“Jack quietly laughed†(86)
“He gently laughed†(95)
“Jack quietly laughed†(134)
“Patrick quietly laughed†(169)
“She quietly laughed†(272)

Etc.

AlaMich Hate repetition like that! 2mo

I've read a lot of time loop romances but this one had a fun twist. It's told from the perspective of the love interest!
Gemma is already having a bad day when she crashes into Jack & gets a weird sense of deja vu. She doesn't believe when he tells her that he's in a time loop but over the course of the day Jack helps her break out of her rut. They might have a strange connection but she can't fall in love in a day!...right?

A Libby loan that's almost due back, a new ebook I can't put down, and a fun manga. I'm undecided about what audiobook I want to listen to for chores tomorrow, I've started a few recently and can't seem to get invested in any just yet

It was ok! I blitzed through most of it and had a hard time caring too much. I like how we got a slice of the loop, but how does the whole entire book take place in ONE DAY?! Also, thankful there were so many good people in their lives

I thought this was going to be like groundhogs day (we keep reading the almost same day over and over), but it wasn‘t and the format was soooo much better!

Omg, gosh darn cutest book! This just made me smile the whole time I was reading it. Nothing hot or heavy, but just good old fashioned romantic comedy.
