OONA'S LIFE IS OUT OF ORDER

Brooklyn, 1982. Oona Lockhart is about to celebrate her 19th birthday and ring in the New Year. But at the stroke of midnight, she finds herself in her fifty-one-year-old body, thirty-two years into the future.

Every birthday, Oona leaps into a different year of her life at random. Still young on the inside, but ever changing on the outside, who will she be next year? Nineties Club Kid? World traveller? Wife to a man she's never met?

As the years pass, Oona must learn to navigate a life that's out of order . . . but is it broken?

Surprising, magical and poignant, Margarita Montimore's debut is an uplifting joyride through an ever-changing world that shows us what it means to truly live for now.

People can't get enough of Oona Lockhart:

'A heartfelt novel' Kirkus

'Surprising and touching' Publishers Weekly

'A wonderful and exciting read about living in the moment' Woman's Way

'Wow what a book! The perfect blend of angst, romance, pop-culture, and time travel . . . such a fun concept' Goodreads reviewer,

'I am not a huge time travel reader but the way it was done here was so intriguing . . . Oona had many emotions to deal with, so many decisions to make based on snippets of her life she was putting together like a puzzle' Goodreads reviewer,

'If Rebecca Searle's THE DINNER LIST and Blake Crouch's RECURSION had a book baby, it would be THE REARRANGED LIFE OF OONA LOCKHART . . . full of heart, humour and geeky genre fun' Goodreads reviewer,

'I have never read anything like this . . . I loved seeing [Oona's] growth and progression as she is maturing and understanding more of what should be experienced' Goodreads reviewer,

'I stayed up late to read this . . . the concept was so beautifully executed . . . it's one of those stories that keeps your brain churning about the "what-if"s and the endless possibilities that a concept creates' Goodreads reviewer,

'I just loved the way Oona bounced back around at different time periods of her life, and I found myself completely entranced to see what part of her life I would get to see next' Goodreads reviewer,
