2.0

This was a book with a lot of tell, not show. In some ways, I feel the author set an impossible challenge for herself. Two main challenges:
- how were we supposed to “root” for Oona to get back to her boyfriend when we really just had to take her word for it that they had this great love?
- each chapter was meant to be a whole year and had to quickly become a montage in order to fit that much time into a short space.
