Oona Out of Order
Description
Oona Out of Order is a remarkably inventive novel that explores what it means to live a life fully in the moment, even if those moments are out of sequence.
Just because life may be out of order, doesn’t mean it’s broken.
It’s New Year’s Eve 1982, and Oona Lockhart has her whole life before her. At the stroke of midnight she will turn nineteen, and the year ahead promises to be one of consequence. Should she go to London to study economics, or remain at home in Brooklyn to pursue her passion for music and be with her boyfriend? As the countdown to the New Year begins, Oona faints and awakens thirty-two years in the future in her fifty-one-year-old body. Greeted by a friendly stranger in a beautiful house she’s told is her own, Oona learns that with each passing year she will leap to another age at random. And so begins Oona Out of Order...
Hopping through decades, pop culture fads, and much-needed stock tips, Oona is still a young woman on the inside but ever changing on the outside. Who will she be next year? Philanthropist? Club Kid? World traveler? Wife to a man she’s never met?
Surprising, magical, and heart-wrenching, Margarita Montimore has crafted an unforgettable story about the burdens of time, the endurance of love, and the power of family.
My Review
I have been seeing this book around the internet. I had to check it out. The concept for this book is fun. As I was reading this book, I was imagining myself in Oona's shoes. What would my life look like years in the future or what advice would I give my younger self.
Oona's life was a bit crazy, humorous, sad, and happy. I liked Oona and the humor that this story provided. Yet, it was not always the case. After a while, I actually found myself losing concentration with the book due to the fact that it was kind of the same story just different time and different Oona. The other characters did not jive with me. If they had, this would have helped. Although, I am glad I did check out this book as I would try another one by this author.
