I mostly dug this. You need to really suspend your disbelief though because it feels like the author constructed the plot via specific points they were interested in and sometimes it feels like it is on rails to those sections of Oona’s life. Sometimes this feels organic, sometimes doesn’t. And the implications surrounding jumping forward and back in your own life in terms of free will and basically any consideration are very much hand waved, which will irk some people, no doubt.

I also didn’t feel like there was that much character growth either, with much of the payoff being wrapped up in a reveal and Oona herself feeling somewhat static. All in all, feel really mixed about this immediately after finishing it. As things settle I don’t feel like those things will change. It’s an interesting concept and the plot twists are fun enough to propel you through the story. It just feels like it’s missing more connective tissue, to me.
