I’m a little obsessed with time travel novels.
A Wrinkle In Time? Yes.
When You Reach Me? YES.
Call It Consequences?? Yes please.
My new fav…
Call It Consequences is a lovely novel: beautiful prose, thrilling premise, it’s YA, it’s clean…it’s just the best.
Content Warnings: No spice, no swearing, some blood.
But the thing that I don’t know how to explain to you all is the feel of the book. It’s almost like it’s alive. As I read, I could feel the pages under my fingers thrumming. Like each word was a heartbeat. (This is a metaphor. Please don’t be concerned.)
Reading it made me feel more alive.
What it’s about (blatantly stolen from the Amazon page)
What would you do if your 12-year-old self showed up and told you that you had to travel back in time to save your dead mother’s life?
Lorraine’s mother died almost a decade ago, and her life has been spiraling out of control ever since. If it’s not the grief, or her aloof father who won’t give up his pointless time travel experiments, then it’s the mysterious man in black who always seems to be watching her.
Does that mean it’s up to Lorraine to fix everything? Lorraine’s an artist, not a mathematician. With only her unwitting boyfriend for help, how will she ever accomplish what her genius parents never could? More importantly, will she be able to keep it a secret from the strange government forces following her?

Also it’s a #1 New Release and it came out TODAY!?
I’ve gotta be honest.
I know the author of this book…and I didn’t really think it’d be up my ally.
Light-hearted books are my new thing–not grief books! But I gave it a read anyways and what blows me away is how full of light this story is…even though it’s kinda angsty.
I would count this book as one of the best I’ve read in the last decade. So yeah. I highly recommend you buy your own copy.*
