This book was on my to read list because of my new-found love of what they call ‘domestic fiction’. It’s a light read with a good premise. The age skip trope is one that has been explored extensively in the Hollywood rom-com circuit. This is a slightly polished late 2010’s update on it.
Oona Lockhart is your typical teenager with an adoring boyfriend, a close knit band and a promising acceptance letter from London School of Economics. At the 1984 New Years’ Eve party, her pretty sorted life is thrown out of balance as, when clock strikes midnight, she is transported to her 2015 self!
The initial shock aside, she adjusts quickly thanks to her trusty friends and family. Every year, she flits between various years of life and experiences her life in this strange order,
As with most books in this genre, the trick is to not think too hard; otherwise you might trip yourself up on plotholes. But overall, it was a good book and serves as a break between other heavier reads.
My rating:
~Till I write again!~
