Synopsis

A Fast, Funny, Deeply Hilarious Debut--the Glitch Is The Story Of A High-profile, Ted Talk-ing, Power-posing Silicon Valley Ceo And Mother Of Two Who Has It All Under Control, Until A Woman Claiming To Be A Younger Version Of Herself Appears, Causing A Major Glitch In Her Overscheduled, Overstaffed, Overworked Life. Shelley Stone, Wife, Mother, And Ceo Of The Tech Company Conch, Is Committed To Living Her Most Efficient Life. She Takes Her Me Time At 3:30 A.m. On The Treadmill, Power Naps While Waiting In Line, Schedules Sex With Her Husband For When They Are Already Changing Clothes, And Takes A Men's Multivitamin Because She Refuses To Participate In Her Own Oppression. But When She Meets A Young Woman Also Named Shelley Stone Who Has The Same Exact Scar On Her Shoulder, Shelley Has To Wonder: Is She Finally Buckling Under All The Pressure? Completely Original, Brainy, And Laugh-out-loud Funny, The Glitch Introduces One Of The Most Memorable Characters In Recent Fiction And Offers A Riotous Look Into Work, Marriage, And Motherhood In Our Absurd World.
