A romantic tale of a not-so-happy couple’s second chance at love, starring a malfunctioning home robot. Welcome to Yasmin’s nightmare.
Please note, The Glitching is intended for 18+ audiences.
As a sci-fi romance fan, this was my first time reading this author. I’m so grateful I got an ARC! The story explores second chances and proves that love isn’t always perfect. Things aren’t always sunshine and roses. This is a romance about how people or a marriage couple handle tricky parts of being together.
TROPES:
– Second Chance Romance
– Troubled Relationship/Marriage
– Malicious AI
– Technological Threat (Primus’ violence)
– Mystery?
This story is short, but the author’s writing style left me with many questions! I still have many questions about some parts of the story:
– Yasmin and Humphrey’s marriage
– Riku and Jamaal roles
– Is this a reverse harem or is it mainly about M/F pairing?
– And what’s the deal with Primus? How was this intelligent robot created? Why is he so violent, what’s his true purpose, and why has he become Yasmin’s nightmare?
Yes, I still had questions, but I really enjoyed the book especially the steamy parts!
😭 But Maam, my main concern here is Primus. 😭 Primus is a character I can’t quite pin down. You might call me weird, but I felt a little bad for Primus. I felt a pang of sympathy for him when I read about him being sent back to the factory after what he did to Yasmin. He’s clearly glitched, but I wished he could be FIXED and find a BETTER PURPOSE beyond being Yasmin’s tormentor. Perhaps even a REDEMPTION ARC similar to Yasmin and Humphrey’s marriage journey. Right? 💔 I don’t know why… but I felt really, REALLY bad for him 😭
Gigi Zarbi is a genius for writing such a beautiful story. I absolutely adore sci-fi romance authors like them!
NOTE: This is my personal opinion about the book. My goal is to share my experience, not to change anyone’s perspective. Thank you to Gigi Zarbi for giving me the opportunity to read this early.
