The Deja Glitch by Holly James

Dear Fellow Reader,

So much to read and so little time! I feel that way all the time. I see books and think “oh, I need to read that.”  But then I have such a long list of those books.

Do you get the daily email from Book Bub? It is a horrible thing is you are a book buyer! I say that because most of the books featured are $2.99, $1.99. or $0.99. So easy to spend that small amount of money, right? And that is how my Kindle reader is so full of books to read!

Just to break out of the genre “rut” I have been in lately, I have a book for you that is not a cozy mystery. I don’t think I would call it a romance novel although it might be a romantic comedy.

The Deja Glitch opens with Gemma in a bar celebrating her best friend, Lila’s birthday. Gemma is more of a homebody than her friend. She is thinking of leaving when Lila points out that Gemma has an admirer that she should talk to. Gemma does but still leaves the bar to go home to her dog.

The next morning, Gemma is in a coffee shop and this handsome stranger accidentally knocks into her and dumps her coffee order all over her. They start talking. She feels like he is familiar but isn’t sure how she would know him. But he convinces her to start talking. She is attracted to him, but he seems to know things about her. As the day goes on, he tells her that they have been replaying the same day for months and that he is trying hard to find out how to break their “Groundhog Day” situation.

I liked the book. It was different and well thought out. It was a different premise and had some plot twists that belong in romantic comedies. There is not only the romance between the couple, but we learn about Gemma’s closeness to her brother and her distance from her father.

I think that it is a good book to keep you guessing.

Thanks for reading.

I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an unbiased review.
