      When my phone alarm chimes, I fish it out from the pocket of my cargo pants. I’ve forgotten, with the time change, to turn off the reminder. I’m still groggy with sleep, but I open the date and read the names: Iris Vale. Eun Ae Kim. Alan Rosenfeldt.

      Regan and Elliot are students at the Academy where they have been identified as having a genetic glitch, the ability to travel through time. Their group is dedicated to protecting history against a group called Mayhem. Regan and Elliot are sworn rivals. When they get a cocoon, a note from the future. They don't know how to handle it but begrudgingly discover they need to work together. The book dives into historical events. The book is action packed, with clever characters who grow to appreciate each other's gifts, and has some insight about historical events.

      Glitch is a 2022 Lone Star selection. I really enjoyed listening to this novel.Regan and Elliot really dislike each other. Too bad--they are fated to be a team. Some people are born with a glitch gene that enables them to time travel. Each country has their own glitchers whom they train at an academy secretly located within their own borders. Not even the students know where their academy is located. Regan and Elliot belong to the United States academy. Elliot represents the best our nation has to offer and plans on being the youngest to level up while Regan struggles to do well who is also the daughter of the youngest person to level up and runs the academy. Regan, however, possesses an unfailing ability to spy butterflies. Butterflies are rogue time travelers who strive to upset history. The academy focuses on catching butterflies without disrupting history. Any little action could change history. Regan fails the simulation to discover the butterfly at the Ford's Theatre (site of where Lincoln was shot) FIVE times. She's not feeling particularly accomplished and doubts her ability to be a good glitcher. Elliot may be the best, but he's also rude, arrogant, and condescending.Everything changes with one cocoon. They happen to be arguing when Elliot sees a letter with Regan's name. In his meanness, he takes it and decides to open it on his own. The consequences mean that Regan MUST pass the LIncoln simulation and start the 10 simulations required to level up. She must make sure that Elliot doesn't succeed in his last simulation because the cocoon says that they must work together. It's a rough pairing, but they discover their abilities complement each other. Even the academy notices, for they are placed in a super secret group where pairs work together to find butterflies. From this point on, the novel is a roller coaster of trying to save everyone. There' are bombs, time travel, more time travel, and snarky conversations all within this suspenseful novel.I found the novel a lot of fun. The pace keeps one interested. The characters are fun and believable. If you can listen, I recommend it.
