I really really enjoyed this book. I just felt like I wanted something a bit more? I didn't see all of the twists coming

(like Kenzie being her son)

, but that didn't make it feel less compelling. I felt like the letters she did or didn't leave for herself could've been done better or handled better? I felt like the writing around those seemed like an odd thing that the writer used just to try to make the plot happen. That being said, this book made me feel things and tear up, especially

when Madeline was dying.

Def a recommended read!

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.

I wasn't sure if I would get along with this novel, but I loved it. The concept of living life out of order was so intriguing to me, and Montimore did fantastic job of keeping me interested throughout the entire novel. I didn't expect

Oona to be Kenzie's mum

, but in the end, it was a nice plot twist. I can't wait to read it again.
