Book Review of The Life List

The Life List
reviewed on + 215 more book reviews


When Brett's Mother dies from cancer she leaves behind a 'to-do' list that Brett must accomplish in order to get her inheritance. Brett's Mom has decided that Brett's life isn't turning out the way that Brett had once hoped and with the list, she hopes to steer Brett in a different direction. The tasks on the list include everything from: fall in love to have a baby to buy a horse. Huge tasks that overwhelm and scare Brett, who thinks her life is just fine thank you. With the help of family and new friends Brett struggles to accomplish the list during the allotted time frame. A very predictable, but yet emotional story. A bit silly at times. A bit stereotypical at times. But, still a worthy read. It will give my book club something to chat about this month.
