silver_valkyrie_reads's review against another edition

I’m intrigued by the story, but the amount of “open door” content caught me off guard. A bit too much to easily skip over, at least on audio.

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.

While the book is thoroughly enjoyable, with good character development, twists and turns, and settings that are easy to visualise, there are issues. Some may find the actions and thoughts of the main character, Oona, quite frustrating. Also, some of the pacing is a bit off, too long focussed on one topic and not enough time focussed on another, for example.
