The Déjà Glitch
by Holly James
In this book we have Gemma and Jack who get stuck in a time loop; doomed to repeat the same day over and over again. The only way to break the loop? Our main characters must fall in love in one day.
I’ve only read one other time loop book so I’m new to this type of story line but this one didn’t really feel very loop-y? However, I thought it was a cute read overall.
There were a couple things I didn’t love, and the first thing was the long chapters. It’s probably just a personal preference but any book with long chapters, I just feel like they drain me so quickly if the story isn’t high paced. But I feel like that’s a me problem?
The second thing was there was so much that happened that I would forget it was all happening in one single day and that kept me from being able to fully submerse myself in the story.
The character development was okay. I wasn’t super in love with Gemma or Jack, but I will say how much I loved Gemma’s best friend Lila. She made such a great side character. So if Holly ever decided write a story for her, I would immediately jump on the chance to read it.
