This book was on a list of "books good on audio."  I have to agree.  I enjoyed the narration, which added so much to the story.

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.

For the idea alone this book deserves to be read, better yet it's really engaging. The time travel implications are as always weird to figure out but I think the book has enough plot and a message that make it not that important.
I'll definitely think about this one for a long time.
