This book takes you on an emotional journey that I wasn’t expecting, but somehow lands in a place that feels like a happy ending.
While I felt satisfied with the ending, I do agree with other reviewers who mentioned there were some things that felt as though they needed to be brought full circle which weren’t.

There are two sex scenes in this book. The first, in particular, starts to get surprisingly detailed. I ended up skipping forward a bit in the audiobook. If you’d like to avoid it, the first happens after Oona’s second time jump when she’s in a club. It doesn’t affect the plot other than you just need to know it happened.

 I wanted so much more 😭 in the best way!

In reading other reviews, I can absolutely see why others didn't like Oona, but I loved her. I just found myself empathizing so much with her. I remember how hard it feels to be 19, and to imagine how it feels to be 19/20/21 and jumping around to different years of your life, where you're in a much older body and have the complications of adulthood without the experience. Whew. It was a ride being with Oona and I would have read 3x the number of pages to see more.

Truly enthralling concept and execution. I feel like it's a really good exploration of what it means to be kind to yourself in all iterations, past, present, and future. Knocking off a quarter star because the author does the thing where she only describes a character's race if they are nonwhite, which is annoying.

jillkaarlela's review against another edition

It got kinda inappropriate and I just wasn’t that interested. I still own it so I might read it later but I have way more books that I’m interested in right now.
