MY REVIEW
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.
GOODREADS BLURB
A Gen Z girl with a time travel disorder. A gorgeous 1980’s guy. Can she stop their love from rewriting history?
A quirky, touching and highly original Australian time travel romance.
When Caitlyn Richter turns twenty-one, she begins having strange, unsettling episodes. To her horror, she learns she’s inherited a disorder that causes her to travel through time uncontrollably, and to make matters worse, one small change to the past can have massive consequences for the present.
Caitlyn realises she must do whatever it takes to leave the past unchanged. But that’s easier said than done, especially after she meets Toby Beech, an attractive 1980’s carpenter who wants to spend as much time with her as possible, and who she finds herself falling in love with.
She has two choices. She can force herself to stay away from Toby and keep her life in the present intact. Or she can follow her heart and risk the ripple effect wreaking havoc on everything and everyone she loves.
The Ripple Effect is the first book in an addictive new series by Australian author Cally Jackson.

ABOUT CALLY JACKSON
Cally Jackson grew up in the small country town of Gatton, Australia. Her passion for fictional writing first emerged in grade two when she got in trouble for penning her own tale instead of copying directly from a story book as she was supposed to be doing – it was a handwriting exercise, after all.
Cally now lives in Brisbane with the two loves of her life – her husband, Mark, and their dog, Lucy. The Big Smoke is her first novel.
