If you savored The Seven Year Slip's apartment-portal charm but secretly wished the timeline chaos cut deeper, Oona Out of Order delivers. Montimore scatters a woman's life across decades—not a single seven-year pocket, but whole lifetimes ricocheting forward and back—amplifying that addictive disorientation while mining richer veins of regret, possibility, and self-reinvention. The romance here unfolds with the same serendipitous spark, yet gains forbidden complexity as lovers meet across age gaps and shifting contexts, all wrapped in music-soaked, globe-trotting sensory detail that makes Poston's foodie moments look like an appetizer.
It's the same cozy magic realism you craved—safe, nostalgic, never grim—but with a narrative structure that trusts you to handle emotional whiplash. Oona's journey through eras feels like flipping through a photo album where every snapshot rewrites the story.
This is The Seven Year Slip for readers who want the time-bending premise to leave actual scars.
What Readers Are Saying
"I loved this book so much that my only real complaint is that I think it should have been written as a series so that we could spend more time in each of Oona's asynchronous years." — Jessica J., Goodreads
"This is a poignant, moving, tremendously thought-provoking book that is so beautifully written. I love books about time travel, especially those which deal with the emotional aspects rather than the scientific. There were so many wondrous moments to be found here." — Larry H, Goodreads
"This book is a thinker! A creative new look at time travel: living life non-sequentially and what that would mean to your relationships and the decisions you make. Join Oona on this journey and discover how Margarita Montimore approaches this crazy conundrum." — Matthew, Goodreads
