It's a tragic love story in so many ways. It has an interesting plot, however   did not like main character. This book frustrated me because Oona refuses to adhere to the advice she leaves for herself. She starts time traveling on her 20th birthday.  Every year on her birthday she has no idea what year she will end up in. The ending left me wanting.

ARGHHH. 

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.
