The Deja Glitch

"One of Beyond the Bookends' Sensational New Summer 2023 Book Releases Praise for The Deja Glitch ""If Love, Actually and Groundhog Day had a child, it would be this sweet rom-com of a novel about how moving forward sometimes means starting over and over again until you get it right.”—Jodi Picoult, #1 New York Times bestselling author ""What an inventive take on a time loop! If you've ever wondered, but what about the person who doesn't know they're in a time loop and needs to be convinced?, then Holly James' The Deja Glitch is the book for you. Jack's devotion to Gemma melted my heart, and I was rooting for him to get through to her in time to get them unstuck. It's not insta-love—t's the universe giving you as many do-overs as you need to recognize your soulmate when he's standing right in front of your face.""—Alicia Thompson, nationally bestselling author of Love in the Time of Serial Killers “I was instantly hooked by Holly James’s unique subversion of the time loop trope. Gemma and Jack’s whirlwind twenty-four-hour love story had me rooting for them from the beginning, and truly believing in them by the end. The perfect summer read!”—Ava Wilder, author of How to Fake it in Hollywood    ""A fun, fresh take on the time-loop trope, Holly James takes us on a whirlwind 24-hour journey with loveable characters we root for. This is a romance readers will not be able to put down.""—Annette Christie, author of The Rehearsals and For Twice in My Life ""Deja Glitch is a triumphly charming novel that will delight readers with its Groundhog Day-esque antics. Trust us, this is one day you'll enjoy re-living again and again!""—Liz Fenton & Lisa Steinke, authors of Forever Hold Your Peace “I absolutely adored this sweet, frothy confection of a book, with its clever spin on the time loop story and full cast of lovable characters. James is an expert at weaving together romance, humor, and journeys of self-empowerment, all within sun-soaked California settings sparkling with light magic. The Deja Glitch performs a magic trick of its own: read it and experience instant joy.”—Ashley Winstead, author of The Boyfriend Candidate ""Holly James's sophomore novel is an utterly charming romantic comedy that made me believe in time loops, magic, and second (make that one hundred and forty seventh) chances. With a unique twist on the time loop trope, The Deja Glitch is ripe with swoony romance, enviable platonic friendships, and emotional vulnerability. My cheeks ache from smiling so hard. An absolute gem of a book!""—Meredith Schorr, author of As Seen on TV ""James does a laudable job emphasizing Jack’s desperation and adoration, the sparks that fly between him and Gemma, and the way they make each other’s lives better....Readable and sweet.""—Kirkus ""With this cleverly constructed romance, James puts a fresh spin on the concept of a time loop.... This is a cute romp.""—Publishers Weekly"
