Synopsis

Can Millie survive what Time Travel Disorder has to throw at her?

Millie Richter has always admired her sister, Caitlyn, but now that her own disorder is taking effect, Millie is terrified she’ll follow in Caitlyn’s footsteps and rewrite history. The last thing Millie wants is to become a stranger in her own life, so she’s determined to do whatever she can to leave the past – and therefore the present – unchanged.

But when she finds herself face to face with her father – alive and well in the past – her perspective shifts abruptly. Millie is torn between the desire to prevent her father’s untimely death and the fear of rewriting her existence.

Then, back in the present, Zach (the gorgeous guy who lives a few floors up in her unit block) finally notices her and asks her out on a date. A psychology student, Zach is thoughtful, caring and a little damaged. Their connection is instant and electrifying, pulling Millie into a whirlwind romance she never saw coming. Now Millie has even more to lose. If she prevents her dad’s death, she’ll risk erasing her relationship with Zach.

In this heart-wrenching third installment, Millie must balance love and duty, all while grappling with the profound consequences of her choices.

Millie is the third book in The Ripple Effect series and is best read after the first two books.

Review

This is the third book in this time travel series, and it is just as good as the first two. This one features the younger sister, Millie, and her experience with the disorder that causes her to time travel once she turns 21.

Millie has learned from her sister to be careful what she does because it could impact her present. Each time she goes back, she does her best to not do anything that will cause a ripple in time. Now, because this disorder is known about because of Caitlyn (her sister), Millie is approached by a television program to share her story and travels. They pay a small amount, which is nice because it is hard to work not knowing when you might time travel. Granted, when they come back, it is as if no time has passed, but depending on the situation, they might return in different clothing or something else. This happens a time or two to Millie, including traveling while she is in the shower. That was quite a surprise for the residents of that apartment in 2006.

Because of the awareness of this disorder, once Millie appears on air, she receives multiple requests from various people to do something in the past. They don’t understand the ripples it could cause, not just for them but also for her. While it is nice in theory, should we alter our past? Our experiences make us who we are today.

And what timing, but Millie meets the gorgeous neighbor. She literally runs into him, chasing a piece of mail. Their relationship takes off in a hurry. It is good that they hit it off, but the intensity is off the charts. I can see why her parents would be concerned. Especially when some news comes to light. I had my suspicions, and I was proved correct. You might guess when you read the book, but you won’t get a spoiler from me.

I really enjoy time travel novels, and I have loved this series. The end has a bit of a cliffhanger, so I can’t wait to see if there is another book that goes into those details. This could be a never ending saga!

You do need to read them in order, and there is a novella that depicts the time between books two and three if you sign up for the author’s newsletter. It probably explained a few things that I didn’t remember from the end of the second book.

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.
