How I read this: Free audiobook copy received through Libro.fm

I can’t believe it’s only February and I may have already found my favorite book of the whole year. Oona Out of Order has it all – it’s colorful, vibrant, twisty, the premise is quite surreal but you still want to run with it completely, and it both breaks and heals your heart. I never wanted it to end. I’m still sad I just finished it!! It should have just gone on forever.

The writing style of Oona Out of Order was simple, flowing and very natural. I feel like it was especially good as an audiobook, because a lot of it is dialogue – in that form, you just don’t want to stop listening! What’s also interesting – despite painful topics of loss, not being able to belong or control anything in your life, the book was still quite upbeat and not blue at all. There was just this deep longing and pain in it, and yet – it was still so vibrant, adventurous, bright and emotional. Despite her unsual condition, we see Oona living an interesting, colorful, vibrant life – even if it’s not a typical kind of life.

As for the audio, I loved it so much! The narrator did a stellar job. She’s just so talented – she does so many accents and voices, some of them just a little different from her normal speaking voice, but they give a story so much more feel (I would sometimes forget it’s the same person doing male and female voices even.) I loved what the narrator did with this book – it really gave it so much. More than that, she has such an amazing voice – it’s husky and kind of vaguely sexy, which really works in the setting of the book – fashionable places with quirky characters.
