Took a while to get to what seemed like the actual plot of the book, but then it got interesting. Unfortunately, it ended not too long after that, just as it was growing on me. The logic of the time travel was particularly hard to grasp, so I gave up trying to understand it and let go of my hope that we'd get an explanation for why Oona was subjected to it. Once I did that, it was entertaining.

1.5 stars. This book was so literarily and editorially flawed and the audiobook narrators so painful, I couldn't suspend my belief enough to get an ounce of enjoyment or enlightenment out of it. I'm hoping my book club can help me appreciate some redeeming quality to justify my time spent on this book.

This was an incredibly unique and interesting book. It's going to take some time and reflection to process it. I recommend reading it as opposed to listening, I can see why it would not have the same effect if you're listening to it.

This book is very strange. Not my cup of tea and I couldn't wait for it to be over, but in a weird way I appreciate it and am glad that I read it. After discussing and reflecting on it, I appreciate the layers and complexity even more, even though I'm frustrated that it feels like there's a lot I'm missing over my head.

Three stars for the writing, plus one more for the impact of this story. I recommend it!

Forced myself to make it half way but couldn't stomach the rest. Got sick of hearing about how all my problems are the patriarchy's fault. Least helpful self-help book I've ever (half) read.

3.5 stars. I liked how the book started out but was disappointed by the second half.

3.5 stars. I liked it, was an interesting read for sure. Would have given it 4 stars but I thought the ending was strange/sloppy and some of the historical facts were wrong.

Formulaic, unoriginal, and preachy. What could have been an interesting premise falls flat by turning into a self-righteous and cliché love story.

4.5 stars for this one!
