Florence recommended this book by Jill Smolinski last January and I have finished it since then yet I forgot to blog about it. It is a must read for crazy readers like me. I loved it...
Plot: our main girl June Parker shares a ride with a girl from Weight Watchers named Marissa, they get into an accident and Marissa dies. As June is taking care of all of Marissa's belongings she finds a list in Marissa's purse.. a list of 20 things to do before her bday, and as her guilt nags on her because she lived and Marissa died she tries to get on the task of taking care of the list for Marissa...
The list:
1. Lose 100 pounds
2. Kiss a stranger
3. Change someone's life
4. Wear sexy shoes
5. Run a 5K
6. Dare to go braless
7. Make Buddy Fitch pay
8. Be the hottest girl in Oasis
9. Get on TV
10. Ride a helicopter
11. Pitch an Idea at work
12. Try boogie boarding
13. Eat ice cream in public
14. Go on a blind date
15. Take Mom and Grandma to see Wayne Newton
16. Get a massage
17. Throw away my bathroom scale
18. Watch a sunrise
19. Show my brother how grateful I am for him
20. Make a big donation to charity
I will not tell the story in this blog as it will ruin the purpose of you guys reading it, *hint hint* go to the library if you do not want to buy the book...
This book has inspired me to make a list of my own.. I know my birthday is coming up in almost less than a month and I think it will be unreasonable to start a list at this time when I just have more or less 7 weeks to do whatever it is gonna be on my list... I have a big list of things to do when I am still alive but this is a more realistic day to day basis kind of list, one that is not too outrageous and one that I can achieve given time and perseverance.... ok I was thinking of that kiss a stranger bit but I think given my condition that I have a bf that will not be a good item there.. unless we peg him as a stranger when I first kissed him hahaha... ok so what to put on my list.. hmmmm...
