Many thanks to NetGalley and HighBridge Audio for gifting me an audio ARC of this wonderful book by Amy T. Matthews, beautifully narrated by Brenda Scott Wlazlo - 5 stars!
Jodie has always been in awe of her older sister, Bree, who lived life fearlessly whereas Jodie was fearful. Bree was a popular Instagram influencer with over a million followers; Jodie worked as a rental car agent and shied away from social media. When Bree got leukemia, everything of course changed. Jodie moved back home to help with medical expenses that the Boyd family was rapidly accruing. When Bree dies, she left her uncompleted bucket list for Jodie to fill - with the incentive of getting all their medical bills paid if she did. But will Jodie be able to do it?
While this premise may sound a bit maudlin, it is anything but. It is so heartwarming, hopeful, full of good characters you will be rooting for. It's a story of living life and not just existing, of having courage to step outside your comfort zone. It's also about all those who are behind us now matter what - family and friends who become family - who only want the best for us. I loved this book - highly recommended!
