AMAZON EDITORS' 20 BEST BOOKS OF THE YEAR PICK

"Reminiscent of Liane Moriarty’s What Alice Forgot and Kate Atkinson’s Life After Life, Oona Out of Order is a delightfully freewheeling romp.” —Booklist (starred review)

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.

Goodreads review by Nilufer on August 28, 2020

Oh boy, WTH I just finished! My head should stop spinning! What’s that smell? Did I burn the dinner again? Oh, no I haven’t cooked anything for 2 years. There is an alarm sensing my footsteps as I take only one step in the kitchen. So it can’t be! What a minute! This is coming from my brain cells! Th......more

Goodreads review by Michelle on March 23, 2020

Definitely in the minority in this one. Oona drove me crazy. Well, I saw enough like minded reviews not to feel *too* absurd in giving this only 3 stars. I have to admit I am really disappointed. It started out very strong, my interest was held and then it just fizzled right out. You've all seen the......more

Goodreads review by Danielle on June 30, 2020

This was a great book!! 🤗 I wasn’t sure if I would like this book. Reading the premise I immediately thought of the old show Quantum Leap. 🤨 This was so much better than expected. 👍 Oona was a great character. I was fully invested in her story and wanted to just keep reading more and more. I don’t w......more

2.5 stars. There were a lot of things I loved about this book (I'm a sucker for a well done time travel story), but unfortunately there were other things about this that I didn't like that really got under my skin and kept me from loving this the way I hoped I would. The biggest womp. TW: drug/alcoh......more

Oona Out of Order by Margarita Montimore (#9 in 2020) Thank you to @libro.fm and @flatironbooks for my advanced audio version of this newbie! If I could describe this book, it would be a combination of Thirteen Going on Thirty (yusss, Jennifer Garner) mixed with the ghost of Christmas past from A Chri......more
