PJack has lived the same day, over and over, for the last 146 days. But for Gemma, it’s just a normal Thursday. When a handsome stranger spills coffee on her, Gemma can’t shake the sense that she’s met him before. Their meeting, which was not by chance, sets in motion a series of events that spark Gemma and Jack to examine their own happiness and what they want from life. But how do they break the time loop? Jack has come up with a theory to bring his own personal Groundhog Day to an end—before the day is over, he has to get Gemma to fall in love with him. 

Thank you so much @netgalley, @duttonbooks, and @hellohollyjames for the advance copy! This was such a unique story and I really enjoyed it! It was kind of like 50 First Dates meets Groundhog Day. Gemma and Jack were really cute characters and I really liked how they were able to bring out the best in each other. I also really enjoyed Gemma’s relationship with her family and how she was able to overcome some of her insecurities and go for what she really wanted. The story is a little predictable, as you would expect with a time loop plot line, but that didn’t detract at all from how much I enjoyed it and it didn’t feel repetitive at all. Cute story, cute main characters, cute supporting characters, cute everything! The Déjà Glitch comes out August 1!
