Here's the problem, though. Yes, Oona is young. Young people often make poor decisions. But you would think her situation would teach her some caution. Nu-uh. She continually makes rash, self-centered decisions that wreak havoc in her life and the lives of the people around her. She treats her mother, the one person who consistently shows up in every leap and shares the secret of her mixed up reality, like the enemy. She never listens to her. She never listens to anyone, not even herself. The incarnation of herself who lived through the previous calendar year tries to leave notes with advice or at least some slivers of information for her to help her in the year ahead, but Oona either loses the notes or totally disregards them. I have some problems with those notes, and for that matter, with Oona's mother. First, the notes: why does she always wait until the last minute to write to herself? She's caught scrambling about what to say. After her first couple of leaps I would think she would be more intentional about the information she passes on, maybe even say something that is actually helpful. Second: her mother. I don't get the whole "no spoilers" mentality. She could be more helpful, IMHO, but then again, she's dealing with Oona, who is going to do what she wants to do anyway, consequences be damned.
In general, while the concept of this book was compelling, the execution of it was fraught with problems. I kept hoping Oona would wise up, and perhaps in the last minute or so of the book she was beginning to. Hard to say. There were a lot of years we didn't hear anything about, I really hope in those silent years she did (does) redeem herself.
TW: in one of her leaps there is significant drug use. There are a couple of spicy sex scenes.
