In this utterly charming debut — perfect for fans of Cecelia Ahern’s and Allison Winn — one woman sets out to complete her old list of childhood goals, and finds that her lifelong dreams lead her down a path she never expects.
1. Go to Paris
2. Have a baby, maybe two
3. Fall in love
Brett Bohlinger seems to have it all: a plum job, a spacious loft, an irresistibly handsome boyfriend. All … love
Brett Bohlinger seems to have it all: a plum job, a spacious loft, an irresistibly handsome boyfriend. All in all, a charmed life. That is, until her beloved mother passes away, leaving behind a will with one big stipulation: In order to receive her inheritance, Brett must first complete the life list of goals she’d written when she was a naïve girl of fourteen. Grief-stricken, Brett can barely make sense of her mother’s decision — her childhood dreams don’t resemble her ambitions at age thirty-four in the slightest. Some seem impossible. How can she possibly have a relationship with a father who died seven years ago? Other goals (Be an awesome teacher!) would require her to reinvent her entire future. As Brett reluctantly embarks on a perplexing journey in search of her adolescent dreams, one thing becomes clear. Sometimes life’s sweetest gifts can be found in the most unexpected places.

Fast paced fun read.
Loved the characters. Noticed husband had tears in his eyes while reading!
A fun read. Read it in 2 evenings.
I picked this book up at the absolute perfect time and I adored it. The author had my attention with the first page.
I loved the quote at the beginning of the book where she says “I have so much more daughter left in me”. Such an interesting thought and so true if you have recently experienced a parent’s death. Maybe, this is the reason the story …
While things may come together a little too perfectly in the end, this was an incredibly pleasant (and quick) read.
