Synopsis

One choice can change everything.

Now that Caitlyn has changed the past, she must face the consequences in her present. But so much of her life has been impacted, adjusting seems impossible.

If she could, she’d spend all her time in the 1980’s with Toby. Wrapped in his arms or listening to him play the guitar. But the universe keeps dragging her back to 2022.

How do you connect with family members who don’t share the same memories? How do you move forward when your entire history has been rewritten? These are the questions Caitlyn must answer if she is to forge a new future for herself.

A future without Toby. It’s the last thing she wants, but what choice does she have?

Aftermath is the second book in The Ripple Effect series and the final book told from Caitlyn’s perspective.

Review

This is the follow-up book to The Ripple Effect, which I reviewed a few months ago. This follow-up book wraps everything up nicely, which is good because I remember being frustrated at the end of the first book with the cliffhanger!

Caitlyn is still traveling back to 1984, where she met the love of her life, Toby. She never knows how long it will take to travel back in time, how long she is gone, or when she will be there next. Sometimes it is a day, sometimes it is weeks. But each time she goes back, she manages to make ripples in the timeline, and everything changes when she returns to 2022. You would think that she would have learned by now to lay low, but no such luck.

There are so many things I would like to tell you about this book, but I can’t because it would spoil the story. Let’s just say it is filled with romance, friendship, and truth. I really like all of the characters, and there are some positives to Caitlyn’s journey to the past and the people she meets since it is possible she will meet them in the present.

You must read the first book to truly understand and appreciate everything that happens in this book. I could see potential future stories in this series, but I believe it will only be the two books. Maybe the author will surprise us and create another story that continues this time traveling disorder.

We give this book 5 paws up.

About the Author

Cally Jackson grew up in the small country town of Gatton. After deciding at 17 that a Hollywood acting career was sadly out of reach, Cally turned to a career in professional communication with fictional writing as her labour of love.

Cally’s 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’s first novel, The Big Smoke, was published in 2012. A decade and two children later, Cally has released her second novel, The Ripple Effect.
