Synopsis: It's new Year's Eve 1982, and Oona Lockhard 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 the 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?
Review: This was perfect for these topsy turvy times we're living (COVID-19/quarantine). The book was definitely a departure from "typical" storytelling, and it was cute. Without spoiling it, I'd just like to say that I loved the ending.
