The Life List

Book #52 Read in 2013
The Life List by Lori Nelson Spielman

When Brett's mother dies of cancer, Brett believes that she will inherit her mother's successful company.  Instead, she is given a "life list" from her mother--things that she must do within the next year.  Each time she accomplishes a task, she gets some of her inheritance and a note from her mother.  To get her full inheritance she must accomplish all of the tasks.  Some of the tasks on the list are:  fall in love, buy a dog, buy a horse, help poor people, find a teaching job and have a baby.  Brett has no idea how she will complete all of the items on the list.

This book was wonderful.  Brett grows as a person as the book unfolds.  She finds out who she is, what she is capable of and what she wants out of life.  Her mother continues to teach and advise her, even after she is gone.  This book has romance, humor and engaging characters.  Readers will love it. 

I received a copy of this book from the Amazon Vine program in exchange for a review.
