Favorite read of the month (best of the first time reads at least…)  This is a creative twist on a time travel book: Each year on her birthday (1/1) Oona wakes up in a different year of her life. She gets a letter from the Oona of the year before, and has to navigate life at various ages and stages and try to figure out how it all peices together. There are a couple twists here that I did NOT see coming, and it really made me think about my lived-in-order life.
A perfect January book.

I really enjoyed this book. It left me feeling very contemplative but also was not too dark and was light and funny at times.

Loved the concept, but there was content I could've done without, and I wish more years had been covered.

Starting on her 19th birthday, Oona begins to live her life out of order. On each birthday which happens to be January 1st, she finds herself in a different year however, still, in her body. She has a navigate through Time travel and maintain relationships. 

This book was very entertaining and interesting. There are many times I read where I find myself kind of confused with how these time jumps worked chronologically, but things kind of explain themselves as you keep reading.

I feel like Oona is a good protagonist, but I have a love-hate relationship with her. There are many moments where I was just rooting for her and excited about the things happening in her life and there are other times that I just wanted to shake her because she was making dumb ass decisions. 

Overall, I enjoyed this book. It wasn’t life-changing or anything but I was entertained the whole time and when it ended I definitely kind of wanted more. I wanted to see how she continued to navigate through these time jumps that she does.
