Martin thinks his life is never going to go anywhere. Just when he begins to think that, he meets an eccentric quantum physicist. This professor gives him the ability to travel inbetween his parallel lives.
In one of them, he runs a successful Bed and Breakfast in Italy with his beautiful wife, Abby.
In another, he's married to the girl he dated in High School.
Only problem with this. He can't control any of this. can't control when or where he goes. The only thing he does know, is he wants to be in Italy. Where he feels happy, and wanted.
Can Martin find Abby and begin this other life? Or will he be stuck in this life always?
I loved this book. I think I read it in just a few hours. It was a great story. Quantum Physics has always amazed and intrigued me. I always wondered if we do have parallel lives. I liked the character of the professor. Quirky characters are always great in stories. I beleive Annie did an amazing job at thsi story and I hope to read more like this. I will definately recommend this book to all my friends!
Annie Wood is a Hollywood native, lifelong actress, and writer. She was the host and co-producer of the nationally syndicated dating game show, BZZZ! She has appeared in many films and television shows and is an award winning playwright. The digital series she created, wrote, and stars in, Karma's a B*tch was Best of the Web on Virgin America. Annie is commited to telling stories that have plenty of her two favorite things: humor and heart.
Also, she can juggle oranges for about three seconds and Spider Monkeys creep her out. Now you know everything.

This review is from Dan, on Amazon.
n "Just a Theory: a quantum adventure," Annie Wood has managed to create a brand new genre-bending genre: the sci-fi/rom-com/adventure/travelogue, and quite a ride it is. After a brief description of quantum mechanics (questionable), she takes our protagonist, Martin Stazinski, on a highly entertaining universe-hopping journey to the many parallel universes that exist side to side, or front to back, or all at once (take your pick), giving him (and us) the the ride of his life. Martin jumps from one (possible) life after another, from an idyllic Italian country house to a car ride with a shrewish wife and three squalling children, in order to find the one universe that fulfills his every dream. Which one will he end up in? Buy the book and see for yourself. Funny, heartfelt, cleverly conceptualized, "Just a Theory" is the perfect book for lolling on the beach on a fine summer day, cuddled up by a cozy fire in the middle of winter, sitting in the doctor's waiting room or whatever parallel universe you happen to choose. Bravo Ms. Wood! Keep 'em comin.'

Unique love story overlapping space and time
Yes, it's a love story that takes place in his dreams or in what he thinks of as his parallel life. Martin is a likeable character, who is "travels" from Italy to Los Angeles, visiting his parallel lives, and each time, taking a piece of memory with his other life. It's a great love story, that's very engaging, in hopes that maybe both lives will encompass each other. I read this story from beginning to end. Recommended for those who like a different kind of romance. Sometimes love knows no bounds, and can be truly timeless.

Enjoyable!
Loved the easiness of this book despite the difficult subject matter of quantum physics. Enjoyed the theory of traveling to alternate lives and loves.
