About this ebook

Jennifer Nielsen awakens one morning in a room she doesn't recognize, and next to a sleeping man that she knows all too well -- her ex-husband. Terrified that she has made a horrible mistake, but unable to remember the details of how she came to reunite with him, she quietly attempts to escape only to find her eldest daughter asleep in another room. But on this morning, her daughter is a young child again and not the teenager she is certain she saw the night before.

Now finding herself unexplainably thrown back eight years into a past she doesn't remember, again married to her ex-husband and a mother to only one child, she struggles to make sense of her situation and is determined to seek out the truth of how this new reality came to be. How can she be back in a different time in her life--one that she doesn't recall living? Where is her real husband and the daughter they have together? Is she having a mental breakdown? Does she have amnesia? Was the life she's certain she had, just a figment of her imagination or a vivid dream?

Conventional doctors and rational explanations cannot provide the answers she seeks. Out of desperation she turns to Astrid, a local psychic, and together they unravel the mystery.

    I received this Ebook in exchange for an honest review.I enjoyed this book very much and read it in one session. The book reads really well and I felt myself drawn to the protagonist Jenni and her plight.Science fiction/time travel isn't generally a genre I care for, but what struck me about E J Valson's story is that there is a moral to be learned here - we take things and people for granted in life and it is only when those things and people are removed from us that we realize what we have lost and actually how precious they really were to us and that we should value them while we can. This is an uplifting book. It is about hope and second chances.

    (Note: this review is for the Smashword version of this book, not the Kindle. I'm putting it here since it's the only ebook listed.)

    The Nostalgia Effect is a very unique and interesting book. It contains elements of romance, psychological drama, and speculative literature, and offers some intriguing dilemmas to ponder. The protagonist, Jennifer, wakes up in what appears to be eight years in the past. However, there are differences from the past she remembers. She’s still married to her first husband and her father is married to a woman she doesn’t recognize.

    She has no idea what happened, and wonders which life is the real one and which must be some sort of delusion. The author, E.J. Valson, does a fine job of keeping the reader guessing whether there is a psychological issue at play or some bizarre merging of parallel lives and time threads. Either way, Jennifer has to learn to navigate a life that seems similar to her own, but isn't quite it.

    It was quite a good story very unlike any book that I’ve read lately. Ms Valson has done an excellent job with her first novel, and I’m happy to recommend it.
