Someone Else’s Bucket List by Amy Matthews
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
“You never really have someone,” the speaking pixels said, “not forever. You just get them for a little while, if you’re lucky. And you never know how long you have them for.”
I loved this little gem of a book.
This is the story of Jodie who loses her beloved sister to leukemia way too young. Her sister is a major instagram influencer and has lived life to the fullest. She’s loved by everyone and is sweet and kind. After she dies, she sends a video to her sister asking her to finish the remaining items left in her life list. Varying from “fly over Antarctica” to “be an extra in a broadway musical.” Jodie, unlike her sister, is shy and does not like to be in the center of attention.
But if she completes the list, a corporate sponsor will pay off all of the debts her family accrued. The debts are breaking her family and Jodie can’t in good conscience, refuse.
So begins Jodie’s journey filled with several other charming side characters. It’s hard not to fall in love with all of them. This is a sweet novel that will wrap around your heart like a hug.
with gratitude to Kensington and edelweiss for an advanced copy in exchange for an honest review.
