I honestly wasn't expecting to enjoy this book as much as I did. Maybe it's because I am so close in age to Oona, but I really connected with her. I went for the ride right along with her, and just like in real life, that ride could get a little bumpy. But one thing it wasn't, was boring.
The audiobook narration was excellent.

It's super hard to pinpoint my thoughts on this book. The first half of it was so up and down with the content of her first few years time jumping all over the place. The last like 35% of the book is really well done I think with hammering home the point of the story.
I think the things I struggle with is the concept is really interesting, I just wish the author had dug deeper into Oona's life. So much of the first 60% of the story Oona comes off as this selfish person who completely disregards what the previous year's Oona lays out for her and it was frustrating to read at times (especially the first two jumps).
I clocked right away that there was more to Kenzie's importance in her life and that Edward was a douche. I guess I'm interested in what the other's in my book club will think of this.

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.
