4.5

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.
