I was looking for a pallet cleanser, a break from the dark and dangerous. A simple love story…But is love ever simple? Especially when you are a time traveler like Caitlyn in The Ripple Effect by Cally Jackson.

Caitlyn is a Gen Z girl, totally unprepared for what befalls her on her twenty first birthday. She finds she has inherited a disorder that causes her to time travel. She has no control over when it will happen. Imagine, you are here, then, POOF, you are gone.

She will have a tough choice to make, seeing the condition is not permanent. It usually passes after a period of time. So, what would you do? Grasp every second in the past with the man you love? Throw caution to the wind, regardless of your present life? Could you even threaten your own life? Could it cause you to never to have been born?

What a quandary The Chaos Theory is and I appreciate a book that can get my mind spinning.

The Ripple Effect by Cally Jackson is a series, so be prepared for answers to be found at a later date. C’est la vie.

I'm going to be honest here and say that originally I wasn't sure if I wanted to read this. I wasn't sure it was going to be "my thing" by the blurb. For that reason, it means a lot more when I say I REALLY enjoyed this. Once you read you'll realize how brilliant the cover is and why the characters are sketched in.

This is a story about two people who want something very much, but it's the wrong thing. How many times have we been in the same place in our lives? The Big Smoke is a coming of age story about all the crap these two people have to go through in order to learn what's really important. And only then do they find what they wanted.

This story made me cry! I mean really hurt for these characters. A best friend, a dog, the "could have beens", and the letting go of guilt really hit home. Cally did a wonderful job digging into some deep emotional topics in a realistic and believable way.
