No matter what the world throws her way, at least Ruthie Beamish has the house. Lovingly renovated, located by the sea in a quiet Long Island village, the house is her nest egg - the retirement account shared with her ex-husband, Mike, and the college fund for their teenage daughter, Jem. The catch? To afford the house, Ruthie must let it go during the best part of the year. It's Memorial Day weekend, and Ruthie has packed up their belongings for what Jem calls "the summer bummer": the family's annual exodus to make way for renters.

Raney Moore has it all figured out. An ambitious young partner at a prestigious Manhattan law firm, she's got a dream job, a loving (and famous) husband, and amazing twin daughters. Her world is full, busy, perfectly scripted. Or so she thinks. One sunny fall day, a bombshell phone call throws Raney's well-ordered existence into chaos, and in a fit of rage, she diabolically, hilariously burns everything down. Once the flames subside, she finds herself asking some difficult questions: Who am I? What just happened? Am I ever going to find my way back to normal?

Casey Pendergast is losing her way. Once a book-loving English major, Casey lands a job at a top ad agency that highly values her ability to tell a good story. Her best friend thinks she’s a sellout, but Casey tells herself that she’s just paying the bills - and she can’t help that she has champagne taste. When her hard-to-please boss assigns her to a top-secret campaign that pairs literary authors with corporations hungry for upmarket cachet, Casey is both excited and skeptical. But as she crisscrosses America, she’s shocked at how quickly her idols compromise their integrity.

Publisher's Summary

A fast, funny, deeply hilarious debut - The Glitch is the story of a high-profile, TED-talking, 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 over-scheduled, over-staffed, over-worked 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.

Critic Reviews

“[A] painfully funny satire of the tech industry. In Shelley Stone, Cohen has created an aggressively unlikable yet captivating and entertaining heroine.... Clever, original, and unabashedly silly fun.” (Kirkus)

"Elisabeth Cohen has given us one of the most unforgettable characters in recent fiction. Shelley Stone is a workaholic CEO who is 'leaning in' so far she might just be losing her mind. This debut is a smart and delirious ride through a world of TED Talks, tech startups and efficiency junkies. I tore through The Glitch with delight!" (Jennifer Close, author of Girls in White Dresses and The Hopefuls)

"In her witty debut, Cohen follows Shelley Stone, a high-powered, perfect-on-paper lightning-strike survivor and married mother of two whose life gets a bug in it.... Incredibly well-drawn." (Publishers Weekly)

Cute premise but too slow and repetitive for me.

Cool premise but too slow and repetitive for me. Might've helped if performer was a little less flippant and cutesy. Also had a lot of skipping issues.

VERY Slow

The storyline is extremely slow. Three hours in and I still didn’t know what the plot was, and was ready to return the book.

Smart, very funny satire. The narrator made the story even better. I laughed out loud too many times to count. Looking forward to author's next book.

Weirdly Interesting

Three stars mean I am glad I listened. Cassandra is my favorite narrator. I kept expecting an ”It’s A Wonderful Life” ending. It would have redeemed her character. I, a stay at home Mom just could not understand her detachment from her little ones. At one point she thinks she might disappear and she wonders what the people who work for her will think and say. The alarms that would go off for me if I thought my family might never see me again or I them would push everything else out of my mind. I almost think there will be a sequel, which I would probably read if only to see if she fixes herself. Surely, there aren't many women, no matter how demanding/rewarding their careers, who are this indifferent to their husbands and children. I am not a mommy wars person, but is it possible that the author does not have children?
