She does an amazing job as Oona and gave the story emotion in all the right places. I listened to the audiobook narrated by Brittany Pressley, and highly recommend that format.
It’s ultimately about a woman trying to figure out who she is, which is relatable even when you’re living your life chronologically! Oona’s family plays a huge role in her dis-ordered life, as well as love interests. The story gets pretty dang bizarre in spots, though it remains surprisingly emotionally moving. Oona is a woman who is living a life in which each year she wakes up on her birthday (which happens to be New Years Day) she is living a different year of her life out of order.
