 I wanted so much more 😭 in the best way!

In reading other reviews, I can absolutely see why others didn't like Oona, but I loved her. I just found myself empathizing so much with her. I remember how hard it feels to be 19, and to imagine how it feels to be 19/20/21 and jumping around to different years of your life, where you're in a much older body and have the complications of adulthood without the experience. Whew. It was a ride being with Oona and I would have read 3x the number of pages to see more.

Truly enthralling concept and execution. I feel like it's a really good exploration of what it means to be kind to yourself in all iterations, past, present, and future. Knocking off a quarter star because the author does the thing where she only describes a character's race if they are nonwhite, which is annoying.

It got kinda inappropriate and I just wasn’t that interested. I still own it so I might read it later but I have way more books that I’m interested in right now.
