I know, it says it in the title, and this author doesn’t shy away from difficult subject matter, but wow was I surprised! Generally I do this without re-reading the synopsis, which is what happened with Ripple Effect. I tend to auto-buy books by my favorite authors and then forget about those books for a little while until I’m in the right mood to pick it up. Until one day when a disaster strikes and all they have is each other. ![]() Chad Woodcock doesn’t care if he’s a good neighbor at all and deliberately antagonizes her, pushing buttons and hoping to make her snap. Dani is a grade school teacher who loves following the rules and when the guy next door starts getting annoying she doesn’t have a problem dropping hints and leaving post-its about how to be a good neighbor. Living under the name Chad Woodcock he spends his days growing a beard, working out, and playing loud music. Retired boy bander RJ Contreras is hiding out in a sub-par apartment in LA licking his wounds after his solo career tanked. ![]()
