The first book of the New York Times and USA Today bestselling series!
For Rose Gardner, working at the DMV on a Friday afternoon is bad even before she sees a vision of herself dead. She’s had plenty of visions, usually boring ones like someone’s toilet’s overflowed, but she’s never seen one of herself before. When her overbearing momma winds up murdered on her sofa instead, two things are … things are certain: There isn’t enough hydrogen peroxide in the state of Arkansas to get that stain out, and Rose is the prime suspect.
Rose realizes she’s wasted twenty-four years of living and makes a list on the back of a Wal-Mart receipt: twenty-eight things she wants to accomplish before her vision comes true. She’s well on her way with the help of her next door neighbor Joe, who has no trouble teaching Rose the rules of drinking, but won’t help with number fifteen– do more with a man. Joe’s new to town, but it doesn’t take a vision for Rose to realize he’s got plenty secrets of his own.
Somebody thinks Rose has something they want and they’ll do anything to get it. Her house is broken into, someone else she knows is murdered, and suddenly, dying a virgin in the Fenton County jail isn’t her biggest worry after all.
“Though much of the book is light-hearted and occasionally outright hilarious, the author sneaks in a few home truths along the way that will hit you where it counts, like how even someone’s best intentions can box you in.” –Everybody Needs a Little Romance
“This was one of those books that I kept telling myself one more page, then I need to put it down. Instead I found myself tearing through the book instead, needing to know the outcome.” –Just Jump Book Reviews

Different. I loved it.
Easy fun read
I liked the different stories going on at the same time and nicely tied together by author…. some parts were sad..but all in all a very good read.
I loved it!
Great storyline and main character. Highly enjoyable
Very entertaining read.
Overall, this is a book to read for happy endings and a bit of romance ; the author stretched my “ willing suspension of disbelief “ when the main character’s mother is found dead in the house she shares with the main character, and officials allow her to return and remain living there right away . That just doesn’t happen .
It’s a good book. I couldn’t stop reading!!!
Cute series
Great book, easy to read. I just can’t imagine that some of the things were still on her to-do list at her age no matter how repressed she was. I mean, she was out in the world, she could drive and she had a job so she wasn’t completely imprisoned. But it was a good read and I’d like to read the next one.
I liked the book. It was enjoyable reading.
It was a good read.
Very fun book, good characters, easy to read and some twists along the way.
I was captivated.
I only gave this book 3 stars because I was so annoyed with the ending I nearly threw my iPad across the room! I hate books that try to hook you into buying the next one of a series by not finishing the story! That’s one of my pet peeves and why I don’t buy a lot of the freebies I see. Each one should be able to stand alone and ket the reader …
