This is a really challenging read if I'm being perfectly honest. Not because it's confusing or anything like that, but because it makes you think about life differently.
I knew from the moment I began the story that I would at least be fascinated by it if nothing else. The concept is really creative and complex, but not in a way that makes your head hurt, just in a way that gives it depth.
Oona goes through a lot. It was hard to read about the different experiences she had throughout her life and it made me really emotional on several occasions. Her mom was honestly my favorite character. I have so much respect for her!
It's certainly not a "light read" even if it looks like it might be. It's challenging, but you will walk away from it with a new outlook on life, that's for sure.
