Just One Damned Thing After Another appeared on the USA Today Best-Selling Books list on 21 January 2016 at #74. [9] It earned a starred review from Publishers Weekly, which called it "a carnival ride" in a "world ... depicted in lush detail". [10] The review in Library Journal lauded the book's "appealing cast of characters", with "plenty of humor, lots of action, and even a touch of romance". [11]
The first fan convention, Jodiworld, [12] was held in Coventry, UK, in June 2023. Taylor and her literary agent (and former publisher), Hazel Cushion, were in attendance, with Jasper Fforde as an additional Guest of Honour.
Taylor's flagship series follows the staff of St Mary's Institute of Historical Research, especially historian Dr Madeleine "Max" Maxwell, as they time-travel to "investigate major historical events in contemporary time". [13]
