Oona Out of Order

A remarkably inventive novel that explores what it means to live a life fully in the moment, even if those moments are out of order.

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.

Oh, fun. I'm glad you're doing this one. I'm looking forward to the discussion. :-)

sounds a bit like Time Traveller's Wife

I enjoyed this book and am looking forward to what others think.

This was a dnf for me at 1/3.

Well, attempting anyway. All the drug use is deeply disturbing to me. And it seems very NA, which does not interest me. And very TV/movie, which, yes, I say as an insult to something that doesn't need the visuals. I'm past 1/3 but seriously considering a dnf.

Yeah, a day and a half later and I just can't. (hide spoiler)]

I really enjoyed this book. It really calls attention to the way we change over time and how we handle situations based on our life experiences. It kept me interested the entire time and if the author wrote another book like this with a different character I'd definitely read it. I think the idea is easy enough to understand but unique and thought-provoking.
